Tried Reading the Bible... how can it help me

Why cant I find answers in the Bible?

Tried reading the Bible but found it didnt tell me how to find myself, control my anger or have patience, or how to grow as an individual. 

A: Sounds like you are not a Christian. 

1. Anyone who is born again by God has been saved, is a new creation (has spiritual life). 

2. Your identity is in Christ, so you can live out your actual purpose. 

3. Also you have the Holy Spirit who lives in you who teaches you Scripture. So you will understand it, (since now you have spiritual eyes to understand it). 

Scripture indeed does tells us how to live as believers. And we walk in righteousness by the new nature, but Scripture guides us to understand what that is and how to live it out, and how to conquer sins. We have to live out the sanctification life by applying what we learn to grow as we gain that knowledge and truth. 

The Bible contains everything we need.

The 66 books in Holy Scripture are sufficient for all matters for humanity. 

It is a sufficient guide. It is both inerrant and authoritative because it is God's Word to humanity. 

The Scriptures contain all the truth that is essential for life & godliness. 

The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life is either expressly set down in Scripture or by good & necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture.

And we need to read it and know it so we can live it out. 

God gave it to us as the Special Revelation so we can understand Who God Is, what our purpose is, what went wrong, how to get right with God, how to live for Christ, how to share the Gospel, how to worship, serve and glorify God, and to have our hearts and minds focused on our eternity with Jesus.

It isnt something to read through once, it is a daily guide so we need to read it daily every day of our life. 

The problem today with so called Christians is most are false converts; unsaved idolators, the problem with the unsaved is that they cant grasp any of this until they actually are born again. They are spiritually dead and spiritually blind until they get saved. But those whom the Spirit is guiding to truth will open their hearts to truth & bring them to salvation.

Resources for Believers will help you come to grasp all of this knowledge as you study Scripture correctly. 

Resources for the non Born again, to help answer your questions so you can come to embrace the true God, Jesus, Gospel and Holy Scriptures [Word of God]. 

"Seek and you shall find."

Investigate all of this, examine it well, so you can make sure to find the truth of the matter, to know with certianty if you are not following a false belief that damns eternally. And if God enlightens you...then flee to Christ while there's still time. Once you die there is no opportunity available. Today is the day of salvation, tomorrow isnt guaranteed. 

Obey the Gospel.
