Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:14-17,
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
We have been studying 2 Timothy for a couple of weeks (okay maybe more than a couple), and I hope we are starting to understand the importance of the Word of God. The other day I was looking through the Bible I had when I was a teenager (a long long time ago). I read through verses that I had highlighted and quotes that I had written down. I even laughed at myself for putting Bugs Bunny stickers in the cover! But as I looked through my old Bible, I was hit by the awesome opportunity that I received of learning the Truth of the Word of God early in life. If you have a Christian home, a great church, and a copy of the Scripture, take full advantage of the opportunity God has given you. One day you'll look back with a smile, thanking God for the impact His Word had on your life!
