WHY WE READ THE BIBLE

So, you’ve learned lots of information — but what does it actually mean to grow in your relationship with Jesus each day? Over these final 3 days, we’ll learn about 3 practical ways you can develop your relationship with Jesus.

The first is to read the Bible! The Bible is not some old religious book that has no relevance to our lives today. The Bible is living, alive, and powerful! The Bible was written by different people, but it was all inspired by God. The Bible can be trusted, and as Christians it’s our ultimate source of truth.

Quick note: there are a few terms for the Bible. You might hear it referred to as “The Word”, “God’s Word”, or the “scriptures”. All of these just simply mean the Bible.

The Bible is separated into the Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament is the time before Jesus, and tells the story of creation and God’s people in the lead up to the birth of Jesus. The New Testament is everything about the life of Jesus, and life after Jesus returned to heaven.

Reading the Bible is amazing, because through reading it and learning more about Jesus, you learn more about what it means to become more like Jesus. As you learn this, you get the opportunity to apply what you have learned to your life. For example, the more you learn about the love of Jesus — the more you are challenged to become more loving to the people around you.
