Why read or study the Bible?
Have you read the Bible? If not, ask yourself why? If you are not a Christian the most important book you will ever read is the Bible.
Your eternal destiny is at stake.
You owe it to yourself to really dig deep. Be sure that ignoring God and choosing not to believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior is truly the decision you want to make.
If you are a Christian you need to read the Bible in its entirety and then study it over time.
Many Christians are familiar with the Bible and know much of its content but have never read the entire Bible.
I encourage you to read it. To truly grow in one's faith you cannot be complacent.
Seek him with all your heart.
Seek him with all your heart.
Studying the Bible regularly is essential to your spiritual growth and practical application of God's word in your life.
If you currently are not reading or studying or meditating on God's word, ask yourself this question-
Who is in charge of your life? Is it you or God? Do you want God to lead your life or do you insist on being in charge?
Perhaps your heart is not seeking God at this time. In either case come back to Him. In this world full of duties and distractions it can be easy to drift away from God.
