To Be Least

      On my last post (It's been a while) a man by the name of "Bobber" commented on Christianity and the Bible.

It is always a sad matter to read bible obsessed christians. IS god in a book? Ask yourself that question once slowly....you may discover (I hope) that god is bigger than a book. That is where you well intentioned christians fail....you are nothing but book readers....

      To begin with I would agree that God is not a book. The reason why thousands of Christians read the Bible is because it is God's Word to us. It is the truth and "the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). Bobber thought that Christians are "bible obsessed christians." While it is true that Christians should be reading the Word of God or the Bible, we are to do more than that. We are to actually to apply what we read.

²²Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ²³Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror ²⁴and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. (James 1)

      So according to this text we are to obey what we read in the Bible. Yes, we may be Bible obsessed Christians, but every Christian also applies what they read. "Do what it says" (v. 22) If any man who claims to be Christian reads the Bible and does not do what it says, I would doubt the validity of their relationship with Jesus Christ. John 14:15 states that, "If you love me, you will obey what I command."
      To be a true Christian means more then reading the Bible. It means actually doing what it says. Later.
