It is critical for every believer to study to show themselves first that they are approved of God through the reading of the scriptures. It is our spiritual food and nourishment. It is our guide to discovery of the Holy and acceptable things of God. It is your personal responsibility to learn about the God that you have chosen to serve, as part of your journey and building of your relationship with him. You can not afford to believe anyone concerning your salvation but the Lord and the Holy scriptures. These things establish your foundation. How can you say “AMEN” AKA “it is so” if you have never determined for yourself if what has been spoken or taught is true and aligns to the scriptures and the will of God concerning you? We are in the time of great technology and deceptions all your physical senses can be deceived. You need the word of God and the Holy Spirit more than ever to detect the deceptions of this present world. You need the Holy Spirit and word of God even more to stay on the path of Holiness.
