“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
"Why should we read and study the Bible?"
We should read and study the Bible because it is God's word to us.
We should read and study the Bible because it is totally reliable, without error.
We should read and study the Bible because there is so much false teaching.
We should read and study the Bible because God does not change and because mankind's nature does not change.
The Bible will equip you for serving God. It will help you know how to be saved from your sin and its ultimate consequence.
Reading and studying the Bible will help you to see beyond the attractive "bait" to the painful "hook" in sinful temptations, so that you can learn from others' mistakes rather than making them yourself. Experience is a great teacher, but when it comes to learning from sin, it is a terribly hard teacher. It is so much better to learn from others' mistakes. There are so many Bible characters to learn from, both positive and negative role models, both often coming from the same person's life at different points.
The Bible is a book that is not for mere reading. It is a book for studying so that it can be applied.
Why should we read the BIBLE?
