Why do you want to read the Bible? Here are 11 Reasons Why Reading the Bible is so Important! * Watch Alisa’s video below!
“I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word” (Psalm 119.15-16 NLT).
I tell people often that I read the Bible because I know how valuable it is to my entire life. It is literally like water to my spirit. And since my spirit is eternal, it supersedes and shapes my natural being as well — body, mind, emotions and will. I read God’s Word because it gives me energy, clears my mind, directs my path, draws me to God, abates my worries and satisfies my soul!
1. Read the Bible for Guidance.
If God can direct the universe, then He can direct our lives through our Bible. Reading the Owners Manual to Life (the Bible) is the only way to live life at its best design.
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119.105 NLT).
2. Read the Bible for Sustenance.
We are both physical and spiritual beings, so we need natural food and supernatural food to stay strong and healthy. Also, during difficult seasons in life, we may need a lot of spiritual nourishment. Reading your Bible provides that necessary nourishment.
“People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4.4 NLT).
3. Read the Bible because it’s Alive.
The Bible is not only a physical book, it is a supernatural Source of Good. It is God’s Living Water (His Presence) moving through our lives (John 7.38) as we read it. Read the Bible and pour God’s energy into your life.
“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires” (Hebrews 4.12 NLT).
