Study To Show Thyself Approved
II Timothy 2:15
Study of the Word is essential to spiritual transformation, which in turn is essential to salvation. Most people are too lazy to study. They'd rather drift, or be entertained. A large number of people read, because they enjoy it and it may even be good reading--reading on the Truth, but few people actually STUDY.
Study is effort and digging and concentration and a methodical going over and over to get things clear and fixed in the mind. Reading can be a mere passing pleasure, a lazy relaxation, giving the satisfying and salving illusion of real interest in Divine things, but it is not necessarily study. Study is disciplining the mind to consistent, purposeful labor and accomplishment.
The motive must be love. If we do not love God enough to WANT to study and learn all we can about His Word and Work, then we are of no use to Him. Be sure your reading is purposeful, beneficial study.
