"Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me." John 5:39
When we search the Scriptures, it should be a deliberate search for meaning, rather than a glance given to a few chapters. Much of God's Word can only be learned with careful study. There both 'milk' and 'meat' are found for all. God's Word is so powerful that every time we read it we are taught, encouraged, uplifted, and edified. Profit from the Word comes from digging until the full treasure is obtained. Searching in His Word is not a duty or a task such as looking for a hidden needle in a haystack, but rather the reader will always find revelation. Scripture reveals Jesus Christ, our Savior: "They which testify of Me." This is our ultimate motive for searching the Bible - discovering our Lord.
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
