In my early teens, someone jokingly told me that the letters of the word Bible could be an acronym: B.I.B.L.E.: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
That lesson stayed with me. I understood that the Bible had eternal ramifications, but as I started reading it on my own, it became much more personal. My life with Jesus Christ grew daily as I discovered the truth behind St. Jerome’s maxim, “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”
For years, I’ve led local parish-based bible studies for adults. They tell me why they come back year after year: By learning more about Scripture, they get more out of the Mass, and better understand God’s love for them.
It’s also what I love about the mission of Living Faith. We dip into the life-changing power of God’s Word every day here on our website, and of course, in our quarterly periodical.
I do hope you are a subscriber. If not, visit this link!
Remember, sharing Living Faith with others is a great way to share your faith in a simple, friendly manner.
Let’s help others get closer to Jesus by helping them get better acquainted and more familiar with God’s Word. It’s a practice that will bear eternal fruit.
