For many Christians understanding why to study the Bible is essential. While the most christians would understand the gospel message not all engage with the Scriptures for a deeper insight into God’s plans & character and for their personal spiritual growth.

As Christians, we must not only listen to God’s word being taught at church, but also know how to access all of its richness and internalizing it allowing the word to transform our lives.

The following are a few reasons why we should study the Bible:

• • • Gives us direction in life (Psalm 119:105)
    • Protects us from sin (Psalm 119:11)
    • It protects us from temptation. (Mathew 4:1-10)
    • It will help you become more like Jesus Christ, (John 17:17)

The Bible is more than just a book; it is divinely inspired by the Spirit of God and is useful for every believer. It contains divine truth, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, reveals to all readers the Savior.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

Lastly, Jesus Himself testified to the absolute authority of the Bible as the Word of God. He affirmed the Bible’s divine inspiration (Matthew 22:43), its indestructibility (Matthew 5:17-18), its infallibility (John 10:35), its final authority (Matthew 4:4,7,10), its historicity (Matthew 12:40; 24:37), its factual inerrancy (John 17:17) and that Scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35).

In conclusion, studying the Bible is vital for gaining wisdom, understanding God’s will, and living a life that aligns with His purposes. Additionally, it’s not only about acquiring knowledge but about experiencing spiritual growth and transformation. Studying the Bible is a journey into understanding the depths of God’s Word and applying it to one’s life.
