" As good as searching the Scriptures is, it’s nothing without coming to Christ. You will only read about your own condemnation in the Bible if you remain out of Christ. Even the Bible itself can be made into a stumbling block if you substitute Bible reading for closing the deal with Christ and putting your trust in him. Your immediate business is to trust Jesus, and no amount of reading will compensate for neglect of faith. "
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon , Life in Christ: Lessons from Our Lord's Miracles and Parables, Volume 1
