Why read the Bible often, even daily?
Applying the Bible to my life:
| "Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as
those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness." Romans 6:13 |
| "Therefore, prepare your minds for action. Be self-controlled. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do" 1 Peter 1:13-15
| | Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:1-2 |
|
"Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach
me, for you are God my Savior and my hope is in you all day long." Ps 25:4-5
|
"Seek the Lord while he may be found. Call on him while he is near. Let the wicked
forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him turn to the the Lord
and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. For My
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways." Is 55:6-8
|
"Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be
ashamed of their sins. Let them consider the plan..." Ez 43:10
| |
"You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess
eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me (the Messiah)" John 5:39
|
"they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures
every day to see if what Paul said was true." Acts 17:11b
| |
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting,
and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped
for every good work." 2 Tim 3:16-17
| | As Paul instructed Timothy, "Until I come,
devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching, and to teaching.
Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of
elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them,
so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in
them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." 1 Tim. 4:13-16
