You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
17 And the work [ma`aseh] of righteousness [tsadaqah] shall be peace [shalowm]; and the effect [`abodah] of righteousness [tsadaqah] quietness [shaqat] and assurance [betach] for [`ad] ever [`owlam]. KJV-Interlinear
17 And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. ESV
Righteousness is that which is right according to God and truth. Righteousness is the content of truth, and the application of the content of truth. Righteousness has nothing to do with human viewpoint, with human attitude, or human arrogance.
Righteousness ultimately produces peace. Peace is the result of righteousness.
Peace is the status of a relaxed mental attitude, which is caused by the intake of Bible doctrine into the soul, as a result of a daily Bible study, learned from instruction.
The effect, or the ministering, or the process of righteousness within the soul is the quietness or stillness of the soul, free from the stresses and anxieties of life.
The effect, is also the assurance, or the place of peace and refuge and assurance and safety and security and confidence.
We typically sum all of these attributes up as spiritual maturity.
And since these are qualities within, and an integral part of, the soul, and the soul having eternal life because of faith in Christ, then that status of spiritual maturity, which includes all of the spiritual resources just listed, and far more, are likewise eternal.
Anything and everything of this world, is temporary at best.
Anything and everything resulting from Bible doctrine learned and inculcated into the soul, is permanent and eternal.
Study [by instruction],
to show thyself approved [spiritually mature]
unto God,
a workman [student]
that need not be ashamed [ignorant],
rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]
the word of truth [Bible doctrine].
These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But you have to decide to make that commitment. No one else can study for you. You have to do that yourself.
