I am aware of the fact that many are saying that the Bible was not given to inform us but to transform us.
This is false. The Bible was given both to inform us and then transform us. The fact that the Bible was written as a REVELATION from God connotes information. When you reveal something you are, by that very fact, informing.
Our problem is that we don't know God and how to use the life that He has given. And so, we need information from Him. We have absorbed so much falsehood and lies from Satan and the world so we need our minds to be renewed by God's truth.
What we think is most probably what we will believe. And what we believe will most probably be the determiner of our behavior.
Ho 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you...
Ro 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...
