Why study the Bible?

The Bible is God's inspired Word. It's our Textbook for Life. Why wouldn't we want to study that!? However, there are many other reasons to study the Bible as well, including:
​

  • Spiritual Growth: The Bible is the ultimate resource for guidance and wisdom. It's a source of inspiration. It's been these things for millions of people over thousands of years. It provides us with spiritual insights on how we can live a fulfilling life pleasing to God. It also shows us how to develop strong relationships with others and with God.
  • ​​Cultural and Historical Significance: The Bible has played a significant role in civilization. For centuries, we have seen its influence in fine art, literature, and music. Studying the Bible will help us better understand the context of our own society. It puts our understanding of both history and culture in greater focus.
    ​
    ​
  • Academic Interest: The Bible is an important text for scholars and researchers. Those in fields such as theology, history, literature, and philosophy study the Bible. Studying the Bible will help us deepen our understanding of these disciplines. It will also contribute to ongoing research in these fields.
  • Personal Enrichment: Even a non-religious person can find studying the Bible enriching. It can help develop critical thinking skills. It can also improve one's understanding of human nature and morality. And, it will broaden one's biblical worldview.
Overall, studying the Bible can offer many spiritual and intellectual benefits. It will enrich our lives in so many ways. However, the most important reason, by far, to study God's Word for me is the spiritual growth aspect! I want to know God better. I want to be all that He wants me to be. There's no better way to accomplish those two goals than to study His Textbook for Life!
