Show me scripture that says a person has to study scripture to be saved and I'll believe you.
The thing to study is salvation.
Some think they are saved by believing facts about Jesus.
But Jesus taught that when he returns if he doesn’t know a person they aren’t saved.
And Jesus taught that we must continue in his word.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Salvation is nearer.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Salvation must be worked out and fear and trembling is involved because salvation involves faithfulness in the midst of tribulations, the being no such thing as a once upon a time, past tense faith that pleases God.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
The hope of salvation.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Jesus will appear the second time unto salvation.
1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Saints are keot by God’s power until the last time in which time salvation will then be revealed.
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Salvation is at the end of your faith not at the beginning.
Thus it behooves is to study scripture unto salvation.
