Very few people understand the great importance of reading and knowing the Bible. Throughout the Bible God continually requests and admonishes us to read and study His Word. This being so, should we not obey Him? Is there any of us that cannot spare 15 minutes a day? If an average reader were to do this, the whole Bible could be completed in seven months or less. Ask yourself: “Is 15 minutes a day so much to give up?” That is about only 1/100 of a 24 hour day. Shouldn’t we at least give God’s Word at least that much time?
Below are just a few scriptures to emphasize why we should:
Matthew 4:4 - “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Psalm 119:11 - “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
2 Timothy 2:15 - “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a work-man that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
John 8:31,32 - “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 4:14 - “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
John 5:39 - “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
Revelation 22:7 - “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.”
2 Corinthians 4:3 - “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.”
Acts 17:11 - “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
Proverbs 4:20-21 - “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13 - “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
I cannot emphasize enough the importance God puts on the reading and study of His Word. For God to have it repeated over and over again shows that it is of very great importance. Only a few texts have been quoted above. There are well over a thousand. This being so, should we not be obedient to Him?
So very many today, even preachers of the Gospel of Christ, fail to encourage and emphasize the importance of knowing God’s Word by daily reading and studying it. How can we know how to do God’s will if we do not know his Word? Keep in mind that we communicate with God by prayer and He often talks to us by His Divine Word, the Bible. It is essential to know that communication is a two- way street! Listening to sermons is good, but it doesn’t cover all of God’s truths. Let us read and study for ourselves, for it is then that it can be said that we are a student of His Word. His treasures are hidden and are unlimited. Why not search for them?
