• Establishes the authority of God over mind and soul.
• Exalts the headship of Christ over His church.
• Is the Word of God which the Spirit uses to save and to sanctify.
• Strikes a blow at pride becauses it forces me to be in the Word.
• Honors by example the priority of Bible study. When you preach effectively you take them through the hermeneutics so you both (pastor and congregation) arrive at the "eureka moment" together.
• Keeps people from the illusion that they have heard from God when they haven't.
• Has a massive impact on the reality of worship.
• Protects people from error and carnality, which is deadly to the church.
• Helps you fully understand the mind of Christ.
