What role does Scripture play in recognizing Christ's presence?

The preparation of the heart through the reading and meditation on Scripture is vital for recognizing Christ’s presence in our lives. As believers become more familiar with biblical truths, they are better equipped to discern the ways Christ moves and speaks in their situations. Verses of scripture often come to mind during times of reflection and hardship, serving as channels of the Lord's comfort and guidance. The call to have our 'loins girded with truth' emphasizes the importance of being grounded in God's Word, as it shapes one's perception and experience of divine visitation.
