John 5:40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
What use would it be to look at the instructions to build something but ignore them and do it your own way instead? What use would it be to look up verses but just ignore them?
God has given us the bible so that we will know what we should be doing, but unless we do it we have not done anything. God wants us to come to Him so that He can give us what He has promised. As it says in the first verse I memorised, God wants to give us eternal life, but we must take the first step and come to Him and believe in Him.
