It is said that only two things will remain after this present world passes away: the Word of God and the souls of men. If that is so, then it would be foolhardy to spend all our lives on trivial and temporal things instead of what we can bring with us when we enter eternity.
Unfortunately, in countries where Bibles are readily available and people are free to read it, many Christians do not make even a modest effort to at least read through the Bible once in their lifetime, much less study and live out its teachings. Only eternity will reveal the awful loss of those who give lip-service to God's Word instead of taking pleasure in reading and memorizing it. And only those who have truly tasted its life-giving sweetness will know it is more precious than gold (Psalm 19:10), just as Jesus said:
Man shall not live by bread (physical sustenance) alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceeds from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)
