Importance of Bible Study
By Edwin Clark Hall
By Edwin Clark Hall, in "Herald of Gospel Liberty" WHEN we get at the Scriptural doctrines of God's holiness, we see that the study of the Scripture becomes of still greater importance. It is good for man to learn that God is a Person, the Creator, and a moral Lawgiver. It is better when he learns that God is a holy Person, a holy Lawgiver, and Giver of a holy law. What other truth is more calculated to make men what they should be? Man is everywhere proud, selfish, self-willed. Some idea of God's holiness is needed to subdue the pride, selfishness, and insolence of men. Without some knowledge of His holiness, I fear men can not know His love; for one must know how holy God is in order to know how sinful sin is. One must know that sin is exceedingly sinful, before he can see the goodness and the love of God in forgiving the sinner.
