A study from Vince Baker Ministries
Why did Wigglesworth place so much weight on the Bible?
In “Have Faith in God,” he turns readers to God’s Word as nourishment for faith. Paul describes Scripture as useful for teaching, correction, and equipping believers for good works. The connection between hearing and doing also appears in James, where a mirror illustrates the danger of looking and then walking away unchanged.
How do I apply a statement about acting on the Word?
Read the passage around the verse. Identify the speaker, the people addressed, and the response the text calls for. Pray with that context in mind. The strong language in the collection about receiving what Scripture says can encourage clear obedience to a command you understand.
