 It's great to memorize the word, but so what if you memorize a thousand scriptures but never apply one? So what if you understand all of the study methods, the context, the historical backdrops, you don't apply it, what good does it do? If you don't live by it and actually walk in a very real relationship with God, then it's all religion. Be someone who doesn't just memorize it, be someone who lives the word.
