WHY READ THE BIBLE?

REMEMBER NOW ITS ONLY 3 CHAPTERS PER DAY & AS YOU EAT FOOD FOR THE BODY ITS EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU EAT FOOD FOR YOUR SOUL SO EAT IT UP OK

DAY 3 
MANY ASKS WHY SHOULD I READ THE BIBLE?

MANY HAVE ALOT OF EXCUSES:
"I'm a busy person with a lot to do. Why should I spend time reading the Bible? I don't have time to do all I need to do as it is."
"I already believe in Jesus Christ. I've already heard the Gospel."
"Why should I read the Bible?"
And they go on & on & on trying to find reasons not to read the most precious book of all!!!


NOW HERE ARE A FEW SCRIPTURES THAT WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION:

JOHN 8:31-32
31 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

JOSHUA 1:8
8 Don't stop reading this book of the Law, but day and night think of what it says, so you can be careful to do everything written in it; then you will prosper and succeed.

ROMANS 15:4
4 And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right.
17 It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do.

HEBREWS 4:12
12 For the word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are.
God's Word is alive! The more you expose yourself to it, the more it will expose itself to you.
To know God better you must spend time hearing what He has to say. The Bible is His message to you. If you want Him to listen to what you have to say, you should also listen to what He has to say.lo
Although God can also speak directly to your heart, you need to know His written Word so you can judge whether God is speaking to you, or the enemy is trying to deceive you.
God will not love you more because you read the Bible. It's for your benefit -- not required to make God love you. However, without reading the Bible, you will not grow spiritually, and you will be more easily deceived.

We'll continue tomorrow
