Why should you read the Bible everyday?
The Bible is the Word of God – it’s essentially His letter to you!
It offers the answer to many of life’s hardest questions, which we explore in our blog. It shows us the meaning of life, and most importantly, shows us how to get eternal life.
Daily Bible reading gives us peace
Spending time in God’s Word is the perfect way to relieve stress and find peace.
The Bible teaches us to give all our problems to God, who will take care of us:
4 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
5 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7, NIV
Reading the Bible shows us how to become saved
The biggest question in every person’s life is always: “what happens after I die?”
The Bible gives us the perfect answer, explaining how we get eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting His gift of eternal life.
He came down from heaven as a man, willingly taking on the human form.
He taught people on Earth, performing miracles and displaying His love for us.
He died on the cross for us, taking the punishment for our sin…
And gave us the gift of eternal life.
3 days later Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death, and proved that He’s the one true living God.
You have to accept Jesus as your Savior, understanding that you’re a sinner in need of saving.
Believing that He died on the cross to take care of your sins and rose from the dead, declaring that Jesus is Lord and God, and giving your life to Him is all that it takes.
You get to heaven by faith, not by works.
Jesus made it easy for all of us to spend eternity in heaven with Him!
Daily Bible reading teaches us how to live
You want to live a better life after giving your heart to God, and the Bible is where we learn how to truly live.
Reading the Bible daily allows you to learn something new everyday, putting you on the fast track to turning your life around and living for Jesus!
It gives us purpose, and life doesn’t feel boring or pointless anymore.
Remember, the Bible is meant for us to read and learn from, and we should take every chance we get to learn more about our marvelous Creator!
