Reading the Word is oftentimes the easiest way to seem spiritual, and yet be living from one’s flesh. Reading the Bible can derive from a desire to sound spiritual or intelligent. Reading the Bible can be fueled by guilt and a desire to rid oneself of guilt. It can, furthermore, be a fleshly attempt to earn God’s favor. The end of the flesh is always self, but the end of grace is God. It can be easy to know the Bible and fail to know Jesus. To truly know God and his Word is to read the Bible with a posture of receiving from the Spirit.
