Seven Benefits From Reading your Bible
Bible reading is more than a pleasant pastime. It can become a daily habit that will change your life.
God’s World holds out the promise of rich benefits for those who spend time reading it and taking its truths to heart. Here are just seven of the many ways your life can be better as you make the Bible your daily reading companion. All seven come from Psalm 119 – a magnificent song of praise for God’s Word.
1. The Bible will help keep you from Sin. “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you” (verse 11).
2. The Bible will lift your burdens. “I weep with grief; encourage me by your word” (verse 28).
3. The Bible will guide your steps. “Your word is a lamp for my feet and light for my path” (verse 105).
4. The Bible will bring you joy. “Your decrees are my treasure; the are truly my heart’s delight” (verse 111).
5. The Bible will lead you to wisdom. “As your words are taught, they give light; even the simple can understand them” (verse 130).
6. The Bible will give you peace. “Those who love your law have great peace and do not stumble” (verse 165).
7. The Bible will bring you back to God. “I have wandered away like a lost sheep; come and find me, for I have not forgotten your commands” (verse 176).
