I have two troublesome fears about Bible study:
1) I’m afraid that most believers think if they go to church on Sunday and absorb everything that their pastor says, whether it’s right or wrong, then they can be assured of eternal rewards. The truth is that when we each stand, individually, before the Judgment Seat of Christ, it will do us no good to say, “… but my pastor said …”
2) I also fear that most believers think they don’t have to “waste” their time studying the Bible, because when they die and go to heaven, their minds will automatically be transformed and they will be omniscient. The truth is that God is the only one who is omniscient. The spiritual maturity that we gain in this life will be the foundation upon which we continue to renew our minds in the presence of God.
