10 GOOD REASONS FOR READING THE BIBLE DAILY

1. THE BIBLE TEACHES US WHO GOD IS. Without reading it we won’t know God’s character. All the questions we have about God can only be answered as we read the Bible. (Hebrews 1:1-3).

2. THE BIBLE SHOWS US WHO TO FOLLOW. We are to follow good examples. Ultimately, we are imitate God. To do so, we must read the Bible to see the good role model that we can follow. The Bible also shows us bad examples which we must avoid. (Ephesians 5:1).

Jesus says, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). Another scripture says our deliverance from all forms of bondage is in direct relation to our knowledge of the Bible. (John 8:32)
