Search the Scriptures

Search the Scriptures
 
     O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out. Rom.
11:33  

     In the Scriptures thousands of gems of truth lie hidden from the
surface seeker. The mine of truth is never exhausted. The more you
search the Scriptures with humble hearts, the greater will be your
interest, and the more you will feel like exclaiming with Paul: "O the
depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! . . ."  

     Every day you should learn something new from the Scriptures.
Search them as for hid treasures, for they contain the words of eternal
life. Pray for wisdom and understanding to comprehend these holy
writings. If you would do this, you would find new glories in the Word
of God; you would feel that you had received new and precious light on
subjects connected with the truth, and the Scriptures would be
constantly receiving a new value in your estimation.  

     The great truths necessary for salvation are made as clear as
noonday. . . . A single text has proved in the past, and will prove in
the future, to be a savor of life unto life to many a soul. As men
diligently search, the Bible opens new treasures of truth, which are as
bright jewels to the mind.  

     You must dig deep in the mine of truth if you would find its
richest treasures. Comparing scripture with scripture, you may find the
true meaning of the text; but if you do not make the sacred teachings of
God's Word the rule and guide of your life, the truth will be nothing to
you. . . . If any part of God's Word condemns any habit you have
cherished, any feeling you have indulged, any spirit you have
manifested, turn not from the Word of God; but turn away from the evil
of your doings, and let Jesus cleanse and sanctify your heart.
