Required reading
Profiting from the Word by A. W. Pink (available from Amazon or free on the internet, here for example) - Read Chapter 2, 'The Scriptures and God'.
My notes and thoughts
Today Pink examines how we profit from the Scriptures when they teach us about our supernatural God. Through Studying the scriptures we have: (i) a clearer recognition of God's claims; (ii) a greater fear of God's majesty; (iii) a deeper reverence for God's commandments; (iv) a firmer trust in God's sufficiency; (v) a fuller delight in God's perfections; (vi) a larger submission to God's providences; and (vii) a more fervent praise for God's goodness.
Pink also gave us a good definition of conversion: 'This is what a true conversion is; it is a tearing down of every idol, a renouncing of the empty vanities of a cheating world, and taking God for our portion, our ruler, our all in all.'
