It’s God’s Word about his love and the life he has for us.

God sets the standard for love and for life and therefore is authoritative
You were never designed to be the ultimate authority for your life.

Princess Bride Illustration:
Kid sick in bed wants to be left in his sickness.
But his Grandpa wants to come read him a story.
The kid is obviously more into video games, sports, and action and says he’ll try to stay awake as his grandpa reads the book
This is the attitude many seem to have when it comes to the Bible.
Working for a contracter:
His brother went ahead and sealed the tile floor wihtout properly cleaning it
When you get a gift you don’t really like that well.
What do you do?
We then had to scrub it with acid, clean it, and reseal it
Most pretend interest until they can return, replace, or regift the item.
Only the person who sets the standard and takes responsibility has the authority.
Not only did God create all of life, he makes a way for us to live through Jesus.
How often to we talk about the Bible and how great it is, but in our personal life we leave it in the closet, never open it, and use it ourselves.
The Problem: We don’t want to submit to God.
We want to be in charge.
Today 1 in 5 American church goers actually read the Bible more than once week.
And 1 in 5 never read the Bible.
Date — Written over a period of 1600 years form 1500 BC to 100 AD
Yet God chose to die for us.
That wasn’t so convenient.
Languages — Written in 3 languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek)
But then when something goes wrong, where do we turn?
Back to the Bible...
Form — It is a collection of 66 books divided into Old and New Testaments
Miracle — No contradictions and the message of Christ is a central theme in all scripture
We need to be a generation that returns to the word of God out of love for God.
God’s love for you should create a desire in you to be reading and applying his word to your life.
Responding to God’s love begins with acknowladging the authority of his Word
Men have tried to eradicate the Bible and yet it continues to live on
Three benefits of submitting to God’s authority
Direction
Who or what do we allow to guide our lives other than God’s word?
Sleeping in — Laziness
BF or GF — Relationships
Work — Career, wealth
Friendships —
Social Status
If you are surrounded by darkness long enough you lose all sense of direction
God loves you enough to offer direction for the course of your life that can lead you our of darkness
The Bible doesn’t just offer good advice, it’s God’s advice, the one who created you, he offers the best way to live
The entire course of your life hinges on who has authority in your life
Sleeping in — Laziness
BF or GF — Relationships
Work — Career, wealth
Friendships —
Social Status
Correction
Is there room in your life for correction?
And what does God’s Word bring correction to?
Do we love God first?
Do we love others as ourselves?
Do we have sin that needs to be addressed?
Nobody likes being disciplined, but it is all about correcting or changing a behavior that is harmfu to the individual
It corrects us when we are wrong
When you were a kid your parents probably taught you to obey their voice.
It leads us to life
Discipline is ultimately an act of love
It is God’s initiative toward relationship with man
What are things in our lives that God brings correction to:
Are we loving?
Do we respect others?
Are we caught up in sin and destructive behavior?
It prepares us
Preparation
How do we practically use the Bible?

God’s word points you ultimately to Jesus
The greatest success in your life will be found when you submit to God’s authority and the love he has for you
