“Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” (Col 3:16).
The son of a certain child of God studied in Sunday School as a little boy and learnt quite a number of Bible verses, but he grew up not knowing any spiritual truths. One day, as a teenager, he got thoroughly discouraged and contemplated committing suicide. He climbed up a cashew tree, tied a rope to a branch and put the noose around his neck. Before jumping from the tree he thought he would say a little prayer. As he was praying, suddenly a verse he had studied in Sunday School came to his mind—“Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree” (Gal 3:13). It dawned on him that what he was going to do was a cursed thing, and he came down from the tree. He repented for his sin and gave his life to the Lord. Now he is a grown-up man, a deeply committed Christian.
When we study the Word of God, initially some of the Bible verses may not have any impact on us. But at the right time the Word of God will work in our lives. “Heaven and earth shall pass away but My words shall not pass away,” said Jesus (Mk 13:31). Therefore let us not neglect meditating on the Scriptures and memorizing Scripture portions.
