The bible is the book that tells us the history of the Earth from creation, on the birth of Christ our Savior and the coming end of all things on earth.
There are stories in the bible about people like you and me who were searching for meaning and hope in their lives. Stories about people who had hardship in life, in hopeless situations, but always found answers by trusting God and following Gods plan for their lives.
Reading the bible will help us understand God’s love for us. The bible has been called “God’s love letter to you.” As you read it, you will know more about God, our creator, His love, and His wonderful plan for us.
Bible reading can teach us about life, our existence. It will help us find meaning and purpose in life. It will guide us on how to live our life, how to be a better person. And how to live for God.
It also tells about how we can have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Reading the bible regularly will help us grow in our relationship with Jesus. We will know more about our need for Jesus, why He came and died on the cross.
Reading the bible has been shown to improve moral reasoning, compassion, hope, satisfaction, self-control and other virtues .
Bible reading also provides hope for those who are in need of comfort or guidance. We will find encouragement and enlightenment as we read about God’s plan in our lives.
The Bible contains wisdom and counsel that can help us in our everyday lives. We will get Godly wisdom and His direction as we continually read His word.
We certainly need to read the bible to get all the benefit from it.
Read The Bible Everyday
Owning a bible is different from reading the bible. King David said that it is more precious that pure gold, and sweeter than honey. But if we don’t read it, we wont know its worth.
Psalm 19:10
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
I grew up believing in the bible, reading, and memorizing verses. Bible reading is very necessary to Christian growth and in life’s journey.
Every Christian, and every family should have a bible. It is very important to read and to teach our children to continually read it.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
