Challies argues against the claim that the illumination of the Spirit eliminates the need for thorough Bible study. He believes this claim is not supported by the Bible. According to Challies, while the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in understanding and applying Scripture, it does not replace the importance of diligent study. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit works through our efforts of studying, analyzing, and interpreting the Bible, and encourages Christians to engage in disciplined study to truly understand and benefit from God's Word.
