Highly prizing the bible is a prerequisite for being a true Christian believer. Remember these verses? Psalm 119:72 says, “The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.” 2 Peter 1:18, “We heard this voice which came from heaven; we also have a more sure word.” Kindling an ardent love for the word is a necessary consequence of being a real Christian, instead of a hypocrite.
