The Word of God is Life. So the success and well being of a man is dependent on it. The neglect of the principles and instructions laid down for life in the Bible is the cause of all the evil and degeneration in the world. The more human beings can live by the principles of the Word of God, the better life would be.
In Christianity, many doctrines have sprung up from the same bible due to erroneous and lazy interpretations. For a proper understanding of the Bible, adequate care must be taken to understand the text and context of whatever passage that is being read. In fact, Christians need to do more of studies than reading.
