As someone who accepted Jesus Christ as a child, I could arguably claim that I have a firm grasp of Scripture. In my 34 church-going years, I have heard and rediscovered the stories contained in the pages of the Bible, studied the various themes throughout, and spent years listening to sermons, attending small groups, and working my way through all sorts of devotionals and Bible studies. Over the years, I have taught Bible lessons in various forums, memorized Scripture, participated in debates and discussions about Biblical topics, and read the Bible cover to cover. And yet, the more I dig and study, the more I discover how much there is still left to learn about God’s holy and inspired Word. I still find myself saying, “I don’t remember that being in there” or “Have I read that before?”
