… and most important of all, we must earnestly ask God in prayer to open our blind eyes to the meaning of the Scriptures; “Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law” (Psalm 119:18); “I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire… and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see” (Rev. 3:18).
– William Bridge –
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is the foundation of all clear views of religion. He that is well-grounded in it will not generally be found a waverer, and carried about by every wind of new doctrine. Any system of training which does not make a knowledge of Scripture the first thing is unsafe and unsound.

For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
– Martin Luther –

When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
– JC Ryle –
The reason you don’t like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.
– Billy Sunday –
The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
