Bible Reading Class has helped me develop a humble approach to God\u2019s Word. Pastor Wang always said, \u201cIf your opinion is different from the Bible, fix yourself, not the Bible.\u201d Because of ever-increasing sin in the world, many young people are raised with sinful ideals or unbiblical beliefs. Reading the Bible, they will inevitably come across things that contradict what they think is right. When this happens to me, I am inclined to think, \u201cWhy does the Bible say this?\u201d Bible Reading Class has taught me to question my own beliefs and adjust them to align with the Bible\u2019s beliefs. Proverbs chapter 11 verse 2 says, \u201cWhen pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.\u201d I figured out that if you are humble when you read God\u2019s Word, you will understand what he is trying to tell you.<\/p>\n

BRC has also equipped me to better explain God\u2019s Word to others. When Pastor Wang explained the Scriptures in detail and to the point, I began striving to do the same when questioned by friends about the Word or answering questions during Bible study. Teaching the Bible to others is very important because it helps others grow closer to Jesus Christ. Pastor Wang\u2019s class has given me an extensive knowledge of the Bible.<\/p>\n

Bible Reading Class has cast aside many preconceived notions that were preventing me from having a stronger faith. Reading the Bible is also sculpting my life to grow closer to Christ. I used to often swear constantly by using phrases like \u201cI swear\u201d to convey honesty. My mom told me not to swear, but I didn\u2019t listen. That day, I read James chapter five where it is written, \u201cAbove all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear\u2014not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo.\u201d Otherwise, you will be condemned.\u201d Now, I try to be direct in my speech. Through His Word, God is teaching and rebuking me every day and pointing me in the right direction.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, my parents invited me to join and I felt obligated to participate, but it became a delightful habit. In the end, this class has helped me to finish the Bible from beginning to end, grasp confusing parts, humble myself, and learn what Jesus wants me to do in order to be a more compassionate disciple and servant.<\/p>\n
