We must fight to let the Word of God be our authoritative direction in our actual day-by-day living. We need to realise that the Bible reveals God’s ways to us which are necessary and basic to our formation as human beings. The personal revelation that comes to us through the Bible is telling us what it means to live as human beings created in the image of the Triune God.

When we eat the word of God in such a way that we allow it to get into our nerves, our reflexes, and our imaginations, we will grow in accordance with the word thus implanted in us by the Spirit of Life.

Believers feed on Scripture. The Bible nurtures the covenant community as food nurtures the human body. We assimilate the Word of God. We take it into our lives in such a way that it turns into acts of love and missions into all areas of society. We receive the words of the Holy Scriptures into our inner beings that they become interior to our lives, the rhythms and images becoming practises of love, acts of obedience, and heartfelt prayers.
