9 Reasons to Read Your BibleSample

LIFE’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

The Bible is God talking to you. It’s where you find out who you are and how to live a life of victory. God has exalted His Word above His Name (see Ps. 138:2), and His Word will never return void but will always accomplish what He sent it to do (see Isa. 55:11).

His Word is His will for us. We can’t separate God from His Word.

First of all, we don’t read it to get the blessings—it’s too late! We’ve already received all God’s blessings in Christ (see Eph. 1:3).

No, we read the Bible to see what those blessings are, and to keep them in the forefront of our mind so we can contend for them in everyday life. We read it so we know what belongs to us—so we have the faith to say, “No devil! That’s not in my covenant; I resist you in Jesus’ Name!”
