John 19:4
Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him."
NKJV
From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
NKJV
Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led Him away.
NKJV
Our beliefs should lead us to action. What we say we believe should impact the way we live. Bible study should lead to Bible action.
Sometimes we are unsure of what to do. That is why Bible study is so important. It helps us to know right from wrong and God's purpose and direction for our lives. Pilate knew what was right and did not do it. I think we can all relate to that in our own lives. Sometimes we know what to do, but we just don't do it. That is where Bible action or Bible application comes into play. The Bible encourages us to be Bible doers and not just hearers. The church has long been accused of believing but not doing. May our Bible study lead us to Bible action as we seek to step out in faith and do all God has called us to do. The Lord who calls us will be faithful to work through us to be Bible doers.
Dear Father,
Thank You for Your love, Your grace, and Your mercy. Thank You for giving me Your Bible to read, study, and learn so that I am equipped to live according to Your plan and purpose for my life. As I study Your Word, I ask that you would give me opportunities to live it. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Living to tell what He died to say,
