I cannot stress how important it is for believers to study God’s Word. It’s why God gave it to us in the first place. Only 10% of Christians who regularly attend church have read the Bible in its entirety and fewer still have taken the time for actual Bible study. How in the world can you obey God’s commands if you don’t know what they are? How in the world can you be an effective Christian if you don’t know God and what He expects of you? Even if you’re lucky enough to be a saved Christian you’re operating blind if you haven’t studied God’s revelation to man. You cannot fully develop the fruits of God within you without regular Bible reading.
Matthew 4:4 – It is written, man should not live by bread alone, but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
From the beginning to the end, the Bible tells us who God is, how He works, and His purpose for man. The Bible also tells us about ourselves and how we can be successful as a child of God.
2 Tim 3:14-17 – But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have know the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Be systematic by reading your Bible every day at a set time that’s best for you. I’m a morning person so early AM is best for me. Read you Bible in the same place every day where it’s quiet and you won’t be disturbed. I read at my desk in my office so I can make notes. Always pray before you read your Bible. Thank God and ask Him to give you the knowledge, understanding and wisdom contained in His Word. Always be humble before God. Start memorizing Holy Scripture.
