The Bible Teaches the Importance of Bible Study
My desire for running this blog and creating content is to equip and encourage you to know the word of God. I write blog posts and create content to help you see the importance of Bible study and make it easier for you to do so. It will be impossible for you to get through your life as a believer without studying your Bible.
However, I can encourage you all day, send you tons of emails, and create content to push you to study the Bible, but if I cannot give you more than my opinion, my efforts are useless.
So I have searched the scriptures for verses that teach the importance of bible study. We cannot get more authoritative than the word of God and what He says about studying His word.
What Does the Bible Say About Bible Study?
As we search the scriptures, we uncover more and more verses that teach how important bible study is in the life of the believer. What are some things the scriptures teach about Bible Study and how vitally important it is?
The Bible Gives Hope and Encouragement
Living in a world that is not our home can be discouraging and, on some days, downright hard. Without the hope and encouragement we receive from God in His word, it would be easy to give up and follow the world’s ways.
Thankfully, God does not leave us on our own. Not only do we have His Holy Spirit to guide and direct us, but He also teaches and encourages us from His word.
The Bible is Our Light
We are born again needing direction. We formally walked according to the course of this world, led astray by our own lusts and desires. Now we need guidance. The Bible is our guide. It gives us the direction we need and provides light to the narrow road you and I are called to travel.
