Is Reading the Bible That Important?
I thought the Bible was boring and difficult to understand for years. Growing up, I fell asleep during the sermons at church. Whenever my mom read the Bible, I got frustrated because the scriptures didn’t make sense.
When I pursued God as an adult, I realized going to church every Sunday wasn’t good enough. I had attended church for a few years but still felt far from God. Something had to change, so my friend suggested going through a Bible study book together.
Everything changed when I started reading the Bible. For the first time, God spoke to me through scripture. Bible verses seemed to jump off the page, or like they were highlighted just for me. If I was facing an issue or a hard decision, scriptures guided me on how to handle a specific situation.
As I studied the Word, I finally understood who God was and the importance of having a relationship with him. Reading the Bible wasn’t just something I was supposed to do as a Christian. Studying God’s Word was like getting a glimpse into God’s own heart.
Reading the Bible is one of the best ways you can spend time with God. The Bible is like a life manual, where God has recorded everything we need to know about living as a Christian.
God wants you to get to know him, and he wants to speak to you personally through his Word.
You can go to church or listen to Christian podcasts, but you’re missing out if you don’t read the Bible. God can speak to you in different ways, but nothing compares to how God wants to speak to you personally through scripture.
As you think about spending time with God, make time each day to study God’s Word. Commit to finishing the rest of this Bible plan. Next, consider doing a Bible study or Bible reading plan to guide you as you study the Word.
The more you read the Bible, the more you’ll understand who God is and how to navigate your new life as a Christian.
If you’re struggling to read the Bible, don’t give up. God promises to draw close to us when we draw near to him. Your passion and desire to read the Bible will grow as you spend time with God.
