“我羡慕你的训词；求你使我在你的公义上生活”（诗119:40）。{FH.30.1}
“圣经都是上帝所默示的，”“能使你……有得救的智慧，”“叫属上帝的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事”（提后3:15-17）。圣经最值得我们尊重关注。肤浅地研究上帝的道既不能满足它对我们的要求，也不能使我们受益于它的应许。……每天读几章，牢记规定数量的经文，却不仔细思考经文的意思，是不会得到多少益处的。{FH.30.2}
研究一段经文，直到心中明白了它的意义及其与救恩计划的关系，显然比熟读多章经文却漫无目的，没有得到明确的指教要有价值得多。我们若不恳切研究圣经，虔心祈祷，就不能从上帝的道中得到智慧。圣经有些经文固然很明显，不致误解，但也有许多经文的意思不能一目了然，因为真理不在表面。……{FH.30.3}
最能使人心有活力，增强智力的，莫如研究圣经；最能提高思想，加增技能的，莫如圣经。圣经含有最能使人高尚的真理，我们若研究圣经到应有的地步，必可开阔心胸，坚定人生的宗旨，提高品格，成为一个现代不可多得的人。……{FH.30.4}
在充斥世界的书籍中，圣经乃是万书之书，是最值得我们研究和景仰的，无论其它的书多么有价值。圣经不仅记载了这世界的历史，而且描述了将来的世界。它含有的指示涉及宇宙的奇妙；它向我们的悟性启示了那位创造天地之主的品格。……{FH.30.5}
研究圣经的人乃是在与先祖先知们交谈，与用高尚的语言表述的真理相接触，这真理陶醉人心，提拔人超脱地上的事，升达不朽来生的荣耀。人间的智慧怎能与上帝伟大庄严的启示相比呢？——《时兆》，1893年1月30日。{FH.30.6}
Bible Study Strengthens Intellect, January 18
Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.?{FH 30.1}[1]
“Given by inspiration of God,” “able to make thee wise unto salvation,” rendering “the man of God ... perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works”—the Book of books has the highest claims to our reverent attention. Superficial study of the Word of God cannot meet the claims it has upon us nor furnish us with the benefit that is promised.... To read daily a certain number of chapters, or to commit to memory a stipulated amount of Scripture, without careful thought as to the meaning of the text, will profit but little.?{FH 30.2}[2]
To study one passage until its significance is clear to the mind and its relation to the plan of salvation is evident is of more value than the perusal of many chapters with no definite purpose in view and no positive instruction gained. We cannot obtain wisdom from the Word of God without giving earnest and prayerful attention to its study. It is true that some portions of Scripture are, indeed, too plain to be misunderstood, but there are many portions whose meaning cannot be seen at a glance, for the truth does not lie upon the surface....?{FH 30.3}[3]
No study is better to give energy to the mind, to strengthen the intellect, than the study of the Word of God. No other book is so potent in elevating the thoughts, in giving vigor to the faculties, as is the Bible, which contains the most ennobling truths. If God’s Word were studied as it should be, we would see breadth of mind, stability of purpose, nobility of character, such as is rarely seen in these times....?{FH 30.4}[4]
Of all the books that flood the world, however valuable, the Bible is the Book of books, most deserving of our study and admiration. It gives not only the history of this world but a description of the world to come. It contains instruction concerning the wonders of the universe; it reveals to our understanding the character of the Author of the heavens and the earth....?{FH 30.5}[5]
The one who studies the Bible holds converse with patriarchs and prophets. Contact is made with truth clothed in elevated language, which exerts a fascinating power over the mind and lifts the thoughts from the things of earth to the glory of the future immortal life. What human wisdom can compare with the revelation of the grandeur of God?—Signs of the Times, January 30, 1893.?{FH 30.6}[6]
