5 Ways to Help Your Teen Develop Good Bible Study HabitsSample

Intro

Building habits takes time. Sometimes, these habits are easy to establish, like brushing our teeth. We understand its importance—keeping our mouth healthy—and we recognize the consequences of not doing it—bad breath and, eventually, losing our teeth.

Some habits are more challenging to build, like regular exercise. This habit takes more time and energy and may require additional resources. We may have to pay for a gym membership, running shoes, water bottles, or home exercise equipment. We have to endure pain and suffering as we build strength and endurance.

Studying the Bible can be a challenging habit to build. We have to spend time reading the Bible. We may need to invest in additional resources to help us understand Scripture, and often, we need to continue the habit even when it is the last thing we feel like doing.

When we do make studying the Bible an established, regular habit, the benefits of doing so flow out into every area of our lives.

If we, as adults, struggle to establish good Bible study habits, so do our teens. We can help our teens develop good Bible study habits that will last.
