… we preach Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 1:23)

There are too many reasons to study the Bible to list in just one article. However, the main reason we need to read and study the Word can be summed up with the words of Jerome, the Church Father of the fifth century: Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.

In the Bible, we learn about Jesus. We come to understand who He is, why He became a man, why we need Him for salvation, and what it truly means to be saved.

The Word of God teaches us that if we believe in His name, we are given the right to be called children of God.

Once we receive Him into our hearts, we must study the Scriptures to understand our identity in Christ, the privileges of being God’s children, and His will for our lives.

The Bible reveals that Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to all who believe in Him. This same Spirit guides us in fully understanding the Scriptures, allowing us to enjoy communion with God and fellow believers.

The Word of God comforts, sustains, and grants us peace, understanding, awareness, and instruction. It serves as a secure and reliable manual for living out the blessings God has prepared for us.

Without the consistent reading and study of the Holy Bible, a Christian cannot truly understand their identity in Christ or effectively live out their faith.
