19. “The Lord Jesus is always seen
through the eye of need.
He is presented to us in the Scriptures
not for our academic contemplation and delight,
but for our desperate need
as sinners and weaklings.
The acknowledgement of need
and the confession of sin, therefore,
is ever the first step in seeing Jesus.”
Roy Hession, We Would See Jesus (1958), 23

20. ‘God’s Word is not for your
Information
but for your
Transformation.’”
Keith Shubert, East Asia School of Theology, Singapore

21. John 5:39-40
“You search the Scriptures
because you think that in them
you have eternal life;
and it is they that bear witness about me,
yet you refuse to come to me
that you may have life.”

22. “When the Bible is primarily seen as a
depository of divine principles for life, it
fundamentally changes the way we engage
God and his Word. Rather than a vehicle
for knowing God and fostering our
communion with him, we search the
Scriptures for applicable principles that we
may employ to control our world and life.

23. “This is NOT Christianity; this is Christian
deism. In other words, we actually replace
a relationship with God for a relationship
with the Bible. If one has the repair
manual, why bother with the expense of a
mechanic?”
Skye Jethani, With, (2100), 50-51

24. The Bible is a tool,
a personal invitation,
to meet, to know, and to love
its AUTHOR!
