The Importance of the Scriptures

Some people that say they believe in the Bible also state that it is really not that important to read and learn all one can from it. These people will say that it is not really important to follow the commands and regulations it contains.

Psalm 119 has 176 verses. There are 176 references to the written Word of God in this Psalm. The Psalm has 28 admonitions to “keep” the Word. The Psalm refers to “law,” “precepts,” “statutes,” “commandments,” “judgments,” “testimonies” and “word.”

This Psalm talks about the rewards of keeping the Word. The Psalm talks about the desire to keep the Word. The Psalm writer asked for help in keeping the Word.

Psalm 119 should be read by those that think the Scriptures are not that important. It is a marvelous record by an inspired writer teaching us to make the Scriptures a priority in our lives.

Study the Bible. Learn all you can from it. Always keep it as the highest priority in your life, and if any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.
