Following up on yesterday's post...
So what should we use the Bible for? Well we should not use it to shun, hurt, or shame others. We should use it to help us draw closer to our Father. We should use it to shape our character so that we become more kind and loving.
Proper use of Scripture draws us closer to God and makes us more humble and kind. The closer we are to God, the less time we will have to judge others and the more we can just live a life of reliance and trust in him.
The Bible is not to be used as a hammer. [Terry McCarty]
Jesus rejected hateful, manipulate passages and gravitated toward the open, accepting, and loving ones. We should do the same.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
