Search the Scriptures

John 5:39 KJV
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

What a great challenge for all of us to remember. We are to "search the Scriptures."

The Bible is not the source itself of eternal life. Some have gotten off course in making
The Bible
The local church
The baptistery waters
The missions program

Or any number of other things the focus and emphasis of spiritual life.

The fact is Jesus Christ is the emphasis of a truly spiritual life and those things either aid us in our relationship with Christ or are the response of having a spiritual life. Sometimes we mask the fact that we do not have a real walk with God by convincing people that a walk with the Lord IS any one of or a combination of the things above.

Search the Scriptures. Few things could be more important! But in searching them, do not be satisfied with anything less than finding Jesus Christ Himself.
