How should we read the bible?

Like Jesus did! not to learn doctrine or win arguments but to find out who we are. Jesus' parents would have told him about his miraculous conception, about the angels, the dreams, the prophecies. So what do you think his approach to the bible was (what is now OT)? It was probably something like 'if all that my parents say is true then there must be something in there about me!?' And what do you think he found? A lot about him! when he was in the synagogue in Luke4 he found the place in the scrolls which we know as Isaiah 61 speaking of the messiah and after reading it said 'here i am!' (it wasn't received very well) He found his true identity in the word and believed it! 1 John3:1 says that we are NOW 'sons of God' Our lives need to be built upon God's opinion of us as joint heirs with Christ, as IN him, ONE with him, As he is so are we in this world etc etc.This is The process of true change in our lives, discovering our true God identity, what he has made us, what he thinks of us. We live out of the image that we have of ourselves, let's make sure that the image we have is the same as God's by looking into the word to see who we really are!
