Would you live the life that counts? Then you must be a Bible student. You must spend much time alone with God and His Word. As you and I "try to become acquainted with our heavenly Father through His Word, angels will draw near, our minds will be strengthened, our characters will be elevated and refined. We shall become more like our Savior." Every Chrisian, through faithful, prayerful Bible study, may say with the psalmist, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
In all the vicissitudes of life, the Bible meets every need of the human heart, and every Christian should know this for himself. Under all circumstances, the Word of God has a message for the human heart, and it is just the message our hearts need.
