What’s the Real Point of Reading the Bible?

What would you do if your mom said to you, “Pack a suitcase,” and nothing more?

Um … you’d need to know why you’re packing and where you’re going. I mean, do you pack a bathing suit? A ski suit? A gorilla suit? What. Do. You. Pack?!

Sometimes we can feel that way when we’re told to read our Bible. We’re not always told why. Watch this video and see if you can relate.

Have you ever thought about it like that? Reading the Bible isn’t the end of your spiritual journey. It’s not about looking smart or impressing people with your biblical knowledge. Nope, nope, nope.

The Bible transforms our lives from the inside out. This book is alive! It shows you how to live a life of love. It gives you direction, and wisdom, and inspiration on how to change the world around you. It trains your brain to see where and how God is moving so you can participate in His big story. The Bible gives you a great place to start.

So, what does living a life of love look like? And what kind of difference can following the Holy Spirit really make for you? Today’s Bible reading will give you a taste!

Pray: God, I want to be changed by Your Word and Your truth. Help me to follow where You lead me. Help me to live a life filled with love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
