God is an author. He gave us a book called the Bible. It is the most printed and published book of all time. Nothing else comes close. In atheistic countries people are dying to read it. In our country we are trying to purge it. You should read it while you can. If you do, read a good translation. Leave the paraphrases alone. You will want to know exactly what He said, not what someone thinks He said.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:2

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest (reveal) myself to him.

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest (reveal) thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. John 14:21-24

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:16&17

For the word of God is quick (living), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12&13

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Proverbs 30:5

…let the word of Christ dwell (take up its life) in you richly…
