How do we read the Bible? Why do we read the Bible? We can read the Bible for information. We can read the Bible for inspiration. We can read the Bible because we think we are supposed to. We can read the Bible to find out what God wants us to do. There are lots of reasons why we read the Bible. Even though all of those are good reasons, they are not God’s reason. We should focus on reading the Bible as a way to allow God to transform who we are. Just like the best food strengthens the body and enriches life, God wants us to read the Bible so we are drawn closer to Him and our relationship with Him is strengthened and enriched.
