Wana appThe Word Of God PlanChikamu
In the Bible, Scriptures are spoken of as if they were God and God is spoken of as if he were the Scriptures
There are a number of New Testament passages that cite Scripture from the Old Testament and God interchangeably. When we engage God’s Word, we engage God.
Scripture Engagement is when our lives connect with Scripture and God speaks to us through it. For this to happen, we need to know ourselves, to uncover the questions our hearts and our society are asking. We also need to dwell in the narrative of God’s revelation of himself in the past, using our minds as well as our senses to enter into that experience. At this intersection, we listen for the fresh ways Christ is calling to us, knowing that Christ incarnates into every culture in every age in unique ways.
Scripture engagement is a grace of the Holy Spirit—a divine-human encounter. Our part is to want it and to create conditions that favor it: quieting ourselves before God, exposing ourselves to his Word, listening.

About this Plan
Understanding the necessity, power, and qualities of the Word of God is critical to those who wish to grow as Christians. Where better to learn how to view God’s Word than in Scripture itself? This 30-day devotional allows you to read and reflect on what the Bible says about itself so you can understand better what the Word is and how you should approach it. Come, meet God in His Word!
