A better question does result in a better answer. Do you see what is missing in this easy answer?

Fellowship and service are missing. A good portion of the New Testament is dedicated to providing structure for the church and how we are to treat one another. Loving others is not the same thing as loving God. 1 Corinthians 13 is called the love chapter because it tells us how love acts.

Try loving others according to those standards and we will discover that it is impossible to do without the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit. He shows us how to “invest in maturity”.

The question that google or any AI cannot answer is “Lord who do you want me to be?”

Being a part of a large body of believers means finding where we fit in with purpose. What gifts have been given? How does my gift work? Is there a place in this body of believers for me to grow and use those gifts?

Fellowship gives us a place to practice obedience. The practice of obedience is for the good of the whole body. If we only want to be obedient to ease our guilty conscience, then we really haven’t matured enough to understand what God means by newness of life.

Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

There is that word “might” again. No guarantee because it requires us to cooperate with God.

Hey Google: What is God’s story?

“God’s Story: From Creation to Eternity is an 80-minute overview of the Bible. This audio and visual metanarrative provides a panoramic view of God’s plan to rescue fallen humankind. God’s Story lays a powerful foundation for understanding the reason for and need of a Savior.”

Wow, everything I need to know in just 80 minutes.Thanks google.

Hey Google” What is my wife thinking?

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”

AI Grok on “X”; What is my wife thinking?

“She’s probably thinking one (or more) of these, ranked by real-world probability:

“What should we eat for dinner / why hasn’t he decided yet?”

“Did he notice I got my hair/nails/whatever done?”

“A detailed mental replay of something you said three days ago that you’ve completely forgotten about.”

“(If every time someone half-jokingly asked “what’s my wife thinking?” the only acceptable response was “go ask her,” the internet would be a much quieter and far less amusing place.)”

That is the point in all this. God is silent if you don’t ask Him. The bible isn’t a place for amusement. It is God’s way of speaking to us. I would be the first to admit that Deuteronomy and Numbers are tough reads. Everything in the bible is written with purpose and if it does not seem to be a piece of the puzzle that you can place, set it aside and come back later. That is what you do with any tough puzzle. But you do need to revisit those parts.

Being in the Word is not an 80 minute video.

John 8:31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,”

Luke 6:47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:

The scriptures are there to show us who we are and what we can be if we just believe and obey.

Every ugly behavior that God detests is written so that we can see our own bad behavior and repent and change the way we behave. We will not discover that if we don’t read the bible cover to cover, over and over again. “Repetition is the price of knowledge.” – Dr. Keith Lamb
