Jesaja 4 - HRR & KJV

Having a strong foundation in God’s Word is essential for living a Christian life, shaping you into the image of Christ, renewing your minds, and keeping you from sin. Reading, studying, and memorizing the Bible helps you gain an understanding of God, Jesus’ teachings, and how to live a faithful life and to stay on the right track.

1. Growth

1 Corinthians 3:1-3
“Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it…”

Similar to how babies rely on their mother’s milk to grow, you also require the nourishment of God’s Word to mature and flourish spiritually. As believers of God, your primary need is spiritual nourishment. Just like pure milk, God’s Word serves as your spiritual food that enables us to thrive.

By being nourished, you grow as the life of God increases within you. Jesus, as a man on earth, lived his life this way, serving as an excellent model for you to follow. Your hunger can only be satisfied when you live not only on physical food, but also on God’s Word. This is how you can find satisfaction and strength to continue living the Christian life.

2. Guidance

Isaiah 30:20 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Did you know that the Bible acts as a treasure trove of wisdom if you are seeking guidance in life. It’s a powerhouse of insights and knowledge that can help you navigate life’s twists and turns, make better choices, and grow towards spiritual and emotional maturity. The Bible also helps us to grow in resilience and in our actions.

3. To hear God’s voice

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Effective communication is important in any relationship, and God is the conductor of life’s symphony. The Bible acts as a portal for you to hear God’s voice with clarity and wisdom, leading to discernment and righteous actions that glorify Christ.

4. Because its eternal

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.”

The promises in the Bible stay with you forever as you read the Bible each day. Unlike worldly things that eventually fade, the teachings rooted in Christ endure. By reading the Bible, you discover what is eternal and can apply these principles to your daily lives on earth so that you can live with an eternal perspective in the here and now.

5. It keeps you from sin

Psalms 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

1 Nu moruveze ndo, ovakazendu hambombari mave kambura omurumendu umwe, ave tja: “Eṱe matu vanga okurya omboroto yetu nokuzara ozombanda zetu oveni. Nungwari, arikana, tu esa tu rire ovakazendu voye, nu isa ko ohoṋi ku eṱe yokurira ovakombe.”

Jerusalem matji yarurwa koupe

2 Oruveze maru ya Muhona mu ma hapisa otjikunwa nomiti avihe mehi kutja vi rire ovinene noviwa. NOvaisrael avehe mba hupa, mave yoroka nave nyandere ovihape ehi mbi mari eta. 3 Avehe mba hupa po mOsion, nu mba sewa mOjerusalem, nu Ndjambi mba toorora okuhupa, mave isanewa ovayapuke. 4 Muhona ma pangura nu ma kohorora otjiwaṋa mouvara we, nu ma koho ozondjo za Jerusalem nombinḓu ndja tikira mo wina. 5 Muhona ma hindi otjikamba mutenya kombanda yondundu Sion na ku avehe mba woronganena mbo, nomuise norururumo ouṱuku. Ongeṋangeṋeno ya Ndjambi mai kovere nai yama otjihuro atjihe. 6 Ongeṋangeṋeno ye mai tjizikiza otjihuro koupyu weyuva, nu mai tjiti kutja tji kare ondjamo nomaundiro kotjivepo na kombura.

1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. 6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
