Bible reading is meant to deepen our relationship with God. Seeking Him and meditating on His Word don’t have to start and end during the celebration of the “National Bible Month”. It is a lifetime journey that will transform our hearts to become more like Him.
Here are 3 reasons why you should start reading the Scriptures today:
1️⃣ Reading the Bible reveals who God truly is.
The Bible reveals the truth about God’s character. As some of these verses say, God is love (1 John 4:8), God is holy (Isaiah 6:3), and God is just (Psalm 25:8). Whenever we read His Word, we are also building a deeper connection and relationship with Him because it helps us discover who He really is.
2️⃣ Reading the Bible helps you find your purpose in life.
God’s Word contains the answer to your true identity, purpose, and passion. According to Psalm 16:11, “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
3️⃣ Reading the Bible helps you discover God’s promises.
The Scripture is filled with God’s abundant promises. He promised to prosper the Israelites, and to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). He is the God who keeps and fulfills whatever He has spoken (Philippians 1:6), and every good and perfect gift comes from Him (James 1:17).
