“We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51)Many people have exclaimed, "to Read the Bible for a change!" There are even books on the subject, countless ones, actually, with that very title. But what do they mean? Should we stop reading anything else and read just the Bible? Perhaps. But I think it means, “Read the Bible… for a change.”
What is the difference? Well, the difference is, the first simply says, for change in routine, read the Bible or study the Bible, instead of what you normally would do and it ends there. What I propose is to read the Bible to experience a change. Not just a change in literature or authors. Not just a change in routine. And not just a change in topics. No. But a complete change. A change in thinking. A change in perspective. A change from unbelieving to believing. A change from what we desire to what we already have through His Word. Let’s make a change, READ THE BIBLE and be fulfilled.
