The Importance of Studying the Word

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, (2 Tim 3:16)

Bible study is the only way to meet the hidden God (Isaiah 45:15) and find the precious treasures in the field (Matthew 13:44). All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ (Colossians 2:3). In order to gain the noble knowledge of Jesus Christ, Paul regarded all the former things as loss and garbage (Philippians 3:8).

That noble knowledge of God is not reason, but faith. And faith comes from hearing, and hearing comes through the word of Christ (Romans 10:17).

Ultimately, all nations who groan in sin will come to have faith. All nations and peoples will come to know this good news of the Gospel. In John 21, there is a scene where 153 fish are caught by the net (John 21:11). This means that any nation can be saved by this one net, no matter what nation it is. The net is the net of the Gospel. All nations and peoples can be saved by the Gospel.

The Gospel is the “revelation of the mystery.” What mystery? First, the ‘mystery of disbelief’ is demonstrated in Acts 28 (the last chapter of the Book of Acts); that is, although the same thing is proclaimed to all, but some people understand it while some people don’t. Some people can’t hear, some can’t see the truth (Acts 28:23-27). The Gospel strengthens us. What can strengthen and empower our lives? What can keep our lives from becoming stagnant, and keep us from wandering? It is the Gospel.  The Apostle Paul testifies using himself as an example of someone who is standing firm on the Gospel.

 

YEF is focused on spreading the noble knowledge that makes our lives prosperous and gives us eternal life by deeply teaching the word of God.

Our Bible studies consist of basic nurturing and discipleship courses and focuses on studying Romans, Galatians, Philemon, Acts, and the Sermon on the Mount. The Bible study is conducted in the form of lectures by instructors, but also in the form of conversations and discussions. And the Bible study students can study while solving the Bible study problem papers together. They can also listen to lectures through online lectures.

After completing all these courses, the leadership training course is available for those who want to become YEF leaders. In addition, YEF provides Bible camps, Bible Academy (Bible School), retreats, special lectures, and seminars.
