Purify Your Conduct

“How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word” (Psalms 119:9). The Bible guides us to live rightly.

Correct Your Path

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). It helps us correct our mistakes and stay on the right path.

Jesus said, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete” (John 15:11). Reading the Bible fills us with incredible joy.

Foster Reverence for God

“If you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God” (Proverbs 2:4-5). The Word teaches us to respect and honor God.
