For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” Romans‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Wisdom

Everything in the Bible was written for us to get wisdom. Especially as believers. For us to know our Lord and Savior and to understand our purpose in life and God’s will for our lives. To learn from all these people that have written their stories about the same God, and their experiences with Him. All the books in the Bible are testimonies about the Most High and His creation—everything that has happened already, and things that are to come.

They are there for us to learn about things to do to please Him, and things we should not do. Judgments are to come upon this world for people who are righteous and people who are wicked. How God deals with everyone based on their actions, so we know what to expect when we behave the same way. Stories that show how much He loves His people, His mercy towards us, and how forgiving He is when we stumble or fall.

Wisdom Continued

How He will never leave us or forsake us. How we can depend on Him for all things and how He never fails us. Stories on how to have faith and build it up. How to be bold and strong against our enemies. To cast off all fear and doubt. How to listen and obey Him, pray to Him plus how to worship and praise our God.

There are life lessons and proverbs that still are relatable to this day. Wise sayings from many people who have lived this life and made mistakes that we can learn from. So many things in the Bible that we can read to give is reassurance in our faith. Comfort us when we are down and out, how to deal with problems in life like marriage, friends and family, stress, worry, our children, and so on.

God left us His word for a reason and we all should read it. To know the Way, to see the Truth, and to know Life. To know Jesus Christ and what he has done and what he will do in the future to come. Read through the bible so we can learn and continue to be comforted, and put our faith, trust, and hope in Him.
