CONCLUSION
THE WORD OF GOD IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT INSTRUMENTS TO DEVELOP A HOLY LIFE IN THE BELIEVER.
WE SHOULD USE IT WITH DISCIPLINE AND CONSTANT, IT IS THE VOICE OF GOD FOR OUR LIFE, TO MAJOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE THEN MAJOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD AND PROMISES OF GOD, TO MEMORIZE THE WORD OF GOD, MEDITATE IT WITH THE GUIDES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WHAT IT SAYS SHOULD GOVERN OUR LIFE.
THE BIBLE IS INDISPENSABLE FOR OUR SANCTIFICATION AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE THE LAMP THAT LIGHT OUR LIVES.
