“In order to appreciate and use the Bible (to have intimate/passionate relationship with the word of God), The reader of it must himself have the same spirit (Holy Spirit) which enabled its writers to understand their revelation of God and to record it (Remember David’s last words in 2 Sam 23:2 NLT which says “The Spirit of the Lord Speaks through me; His Words are upon my tongue…”). The Bible is a record, but it is not a dead record of dead persons and events, but a record inspired by the living Spirit who uses it speak to men NOW… It is the medium through which the living God now makes Himself known. But to find it in the Spirit of God the reader must himself have that Spirit” – Marcus Dods.
