RE: "Search the scriptures." #LightTheWorld day 10

God bless you richly @gavvet. A lot of sense was made and i even so more light at what you were saying. The fact that there is this project #lighttheworld is a product of not just reading of the word, but doing the word. We are encouraged to go out there and influence the world positively., and thats why its important to me.
To hear the word and not do it leads to deception, but to hear the word and do it leads to blessing.
Obedience should always be the bottom line of Bible study or biblical preaching. Correct application must always be built on correct interpretation. But to study the word just to fill your head with knowledge, without applying the word, short-circuits God’s purpose in giving it. Even seemingly irrelevant matters, such as biblical genealogies, are “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16). James gives us three warnings about those who hear the word without doing it:
heed [thereto] according to thy word.

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Acts 17:11 - These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
