[The following article, written by Dr. William Evans, briefly describes the role the Holy Scriptures should play in the life of the church and of individual Christians today. When so many people—believers and unbelievers—are undermining the importance and sufficiency of God's Word, it is more important than ever that true believers hold a high view of the Bible.]

Jesus could return at any moment. Are you ready? The apostle John exhorts us to “abide in Him (Jesus Christ); that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 Jn. 2:28). The Bible tells us to anticipate the imminent (any-moment) return of Christ. For example, the apostle Paul, in attempting to stir the Roman church out of her spiritual lethargy, told the Roman believers to “wake up” and understand that they needed to live a Christ-honoring life.
