Spend the rest of your life doing what God prepared you to do.
The Bible is the divine means of developing spiritual maturity. There is no other way.
The point, do whatever it take to approach the Word with a fresh perspective.
The goal is not to make you a smarter sinner but to make you like the Savior.
Maybe you've attended church for five, ten, or even twenty years, but you've never cracked open the Bible to prepare yourself for effectiveness as His instrument. You've been under the Word, but not in it for yourself.
Heaven is a person: Jesus.
