There are so many important and compelling reasons to spend time reading and studying the Bible. This month we have looked at just a few of the countless reasons to abide in God’s Word:
- to seek truth and avoid being deceived by the enemy
- to grow in our knowledge of and love for God
- on the hard days, Scripture is the pathway to hope
- when we abide in God’s Word, we grow in faith
- the truths that we learn in the Word bring us peace
What other reasons are there? We also study scripture:
- out of obedience (Proverbs 4:20-21)
- for guidance (Psalm 119:105)
- for instruction (2 Timothy 3:16)
- to be His disciples (John 8:31)
- to grow in discernment (Hebrews 4:12)
- to grow in purity (Psalm 119:9-11)
Why do you study the Bible? We encourage you to take the time today, and every day, to seek the Lord in His Word!
