The Power of the Bible

How do we define the Bible?
The bible is “the sacred Scriptures of Christians comprising the Old Testament and the New Testament”.
How does the Bible connect to worship music?
Worship music in its truest Godly, holy form should be Biblical, meaning that it should speak the truth of God’s Word, the Bible, in the song. Worship songs are centered around the truth of the Bible and help to proclaim that truth to a church congregation.

How is the Bible powerful?
As a Christian, it is vitally important to read the Bible because God says that the Scriptures are living and active. To be able to fight against the enemy, satan, one must know what their weapon is and how to use it. As Christians, our weapon is the Word of God (the Bible).
I could go on listing all the many benefits and powers of Scripture, proven by Scripture, but instead, I would like to take this space to provide research proving the power of engaging with Scripture.
The Center for Bible Engagement compiled an extensive list of research findings from a study where they polled 40,000 people ages 8 to 80. The study indicated the following conclusions:
- When people engaged with the Bible one or two times a week, they experienced little to no effect on their lives.
- When people engaged three times a week, their behavior began changing.
