Staying Focused on Scripture

Many believers and even entire churches have resorted to making Scripture only a small part of their spiritual growth. Yet John 8:31 teaches, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples.” Spiritual growth occurs when we walk study and practice God’s Word. When Paul wrote to the young church leader Timothy, he commanded him to keep a close watch on himself and his teaching (1 Timothy 4:16). Doing so would help him grow and impact the lives of others. The same is true in our lives. If we want to grow and make a difference in those around us, we need more focus on Scripture, not less. God’s truth guides us toward better living for Christ.
