Studying the Bible is OK with God

If you’re interested in studying the Bible, it’s OK with God even if your church doesn’t approve.

If you’re interested in studying the Bible, you may find that your friends at church are not. And if you learn a lot while studying the Bible, you may find that it’s causing conflict with your friends who are not learning a lot.

This is quite to be suspected, and it’s because one of you is showing more interest in God than are the others. Let me assure you, what you are doing is quite OK with God. Though your friends may raise an eyebrow at this, God does not. In fact, if the scriptures are to be believed, it seems God would like your friends to be studying, too.

Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.

Psalm 111:2 ESV

I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.
 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

Psalm 119:15-16 ESV

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Matthew 22:37 ESV
