Why is it dangerous to neglect the Scriptures?

Answered in 1 source

Neglecting the Scriptures can lead to spiritual blindness and a misunderstanding of God's will, as illustrated by the Jews' failure to see Christ in the Word (John 5:39-40).

Neglecting the Scriptures poses a significant danger for believers, as it can lead to confusion about the character of God and the truth of salvation. In John 5:39-40, Jesus admonishes the Jews for searching the Scriptures but failing to recognize that they testify of Him. This serves as a cautionary tale; the Scriptures reveal God’s plan and purpose, and when not properly engaged, they can be misinterpreted or ignored altogether. Spiritual blindness may ensue, nudging individuals to pursue empty traditions rather than Christ Himself. It is essential for Christians to delve deeply into the Scriptures to ensure they are grounded in the truth and able to recognize Christ in all His fullness.
