Beyond the Object: Embrace the Mastery of Scripture

The common mistake in engaging with the Bible lies in treating it merely as an object of study, focusing solely on its historical or literal meaning. This reductionist approach often leads to a sense of mastery over the text, neglecting the transformative purpose of scripture, which is to master us instead. The true intent of the Bible is for us to immerse ourselves in its narrative and allow Christ, the content and author of the scripture, to shape and guide our lives through his spirit.
