2 John 1:9

Anyone who runs on ahead and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ (that is, one who is not content with what He taught), does not have God; but the one who continues to remain in the teaching (of Christ does have God), he has both the Father and the Son.

The teachings of Jesus are powerful and life-sustaining. They are the door to God and salvation in Jesus Christ. When we focus on the Bible and view it as the sustaining force for our lives, we will have success. We are to keep in step with Jesus and God and not deviate from His Word.
