I believe the primary purpose for God's Word is to assist us in living according to His will. It is everyday living alongside God. Although we are ordinary people, we can still have extraordinary life experiences when we partner with Him. We were given a perfect example. He showed us the way. Jesus preached the message of the kingdom of God. The kingdom is open to us while we are still living, like it was for Jesus.
We don't have to be perfect, we just have to follow a perfect God.
