What are common things people say to you regarding how the study Bible has helped them?

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that the ultimate purpose of studying the Bible, as exemplified by the Apostle Paul's desire to "know Him" rather than just Scripture, is to gain a deeper knowledge of God. This knowledge, revealed through Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit, is presented as a sanctifying process that transforms believers into God's image, ultimately leading to a more intimate relationship with the Lord. The practical takeaway is that engaging with God's Word is not a mere academic pursuit but a transformative journey of spiritual growth and sanctification.
