John 5:39-40
“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.

- Hebrews 4:1-2
- Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.
- James 1:22
- But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Unless we believe and obey the Word of God , it remains insufficient !
