You may want to actually pick up a Bible and read it. The Word of God is of utmost importance. Jesus, in fact IS, himself, the living word of God.

Psalm 1:1-3
1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

Matthew 19

“If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

“Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’”

So why doesn’t Jesus say, “read the bible, you’ll be saved?” He’s very specific here about obeying the commandments.

“The Word of God is of utmost importance.”

Which is why it’s important to get it right, is it not?

“his delight is in Yahweh’s law.”

Again, this doesn’t say, ‘read the bible, you’ll be saved. It says, just as Jesus taught - obey the commandments.
