1. Know Your Bible

2. B  basic
I  instruction
B  before
L  leaving/life
E  earth/ends

3. What do you need to do to know the content of a book?
we can always read the table of contents or the back but you really understand a book once you read it
when we read the Holy Bible, it can become a habit and we stop paying attention to what we’re reading
The HB teaches us that, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” 2 Timothy 3:16.
“for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” 2 Peter 1:21.
these verses show us that the HB is several works put together from the holy spirit, NOT fabricated by man
