Does God Tell Me I Can Trust This Book?

              I saved the most important this for last. All through this workbook I have tried to encourage you to trust God in your studies. There is something you must do first. (Matthew 6: 5-24).

Before you ask God to help you study, you need to build a good relationship with Him. What better way to build that relationship than through much prayer and fasting. A good relationship with God will be more helpful than all the books in the world. To know God well is to want to know Him better. The more you love God the more you will want to know about Him. The more hunger you have for God’s Word the more He will feed you.

Well, I think I’ll go to college and learn about God. You can’t. You can learn the bible, you can learn history, you can learn the customs of the times and all the other things you need to know about the scriptures; but college can’t teach you about God nor how to understand the bible (John 17:20-26). Without having a good relationship with God, you will never understand Him or His word.

If you have the relationship, God will not let you read or study a book that is contrary to His word. God will tell you when you can trust a book and when not to. But the relationship comes first.
