Aloha and welcome to the Puna Baptist Church Ladies' Bible Study page. This page is a work in progress, just like we are in God's eyes! So please keep coming back for the Weekly Updates at the bottom of the page. Following are some Scriptures about the Bible and why we should study it, (the words in red were spoken by Jesus): <>< ><> "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right." 2 Timothy 3:16 <>< ><> "The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God shall stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8 <>< ><> "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away." Mark 13:31 <>< ><> "For the word of God isliving and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 <>< ><> "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope." Romans 15:4 <>< ><> Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say: ‘No one can live only on food. People need every word that God has spoken.’ ” Matthew 4:4 <>< ><> INTRODUCTION
