Getting real with Jesus is something we must do in order to grow in our faith. Studying the Word is a vital part of discovering the truths and beauty of God that transforms our lives from the darkness to the light. Reading the Scriptures is like food for our soul and learning the Word requires we take it seriously and study the context of the passages, meaning we strive to understand what the passage is truly saying. This is critical in a believer's life and helps identify false teaching that is all around us.
