to feed our love for Christ

As we read the Bible, we are all the time gathering information, wrestling with the sense of obscure sentenses,
comparing and analysing. But this is secondary. The real purpose of Bible study is much more that this - to feed our love for Christ, to kindle our hearts into prayer, and to provide us with guidance in our personal life.
