Bible Study Aid -- Tools for Spiritual Growth [ Audiobook ‪]‬ United Church of God

The Bible reveals and discusses important tools we can use to grow spiritually and build our relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ. We first examine the crucial tool of prayer a key to communication with our Creator.

In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, right after instructing people not to use vain repetition in prayer (Matthew 6:7), He gave a model prayer now referred to as the Lord's Prayer or "Our Father" for its first words (Matthew 6:9-13).

It is only logical that God expects us to fulfill certain conditions if we want His help.

God has given us His revelation of what we need to know but could not learn on our own. He has given us a handbook for life the Bible. How can we best use this wonderful tool for spiritual growth He has provided for us?

The Bible is unified by profound themes running through it. Although it contains a number of major themes, here are three of the most important.

God doesn't want blind faith. He wants you to have faith based on solid evidence. "Test [prove] all things; hold fast what is good," He tells us (1 Thessalonians 5:21). You can prove the divine origin, authenticity and accuracy of the Bible.
