The Purpose for Studying Scripture

William · September 18, 2014

I have been reading Martin Luther’s commentary on Galatians in preparation for teaching a youth Bible study. While reading, I’m discovering something really quite simple, yet profound. Here it is, relatively undeveloped but worth sharing and exploring further: The true purpose for studying Scripture is not primarily to understand how to be more obedient. Rather, we …

From Gene Edwards’ The Divine Romance: The soldiers bound the Lord’s legs, pressed them hard against the wood, and nailed his feet to the cross. Ruthlessly they pulled the stake upward, balanced it, and then plunged it into a waiting hole. There was an awful thud and a pathetic groan. Overhead the heavens were growing …
