If you want to know about God, where do you find information about Him? If you want to know what is God's will for your life, where do you look for it?The Bible is God's Word. In it, there is all God wants to reveal about Himself to us. By reading it, you will find who God is and what He is like. You will find salvation, transformation for your life and guidance. Yes, we can know about God through looking at the splendor of His creation, but He revealed Himself in detail through the Bible. II Timothy 3:16 says: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
Reading it has many benefits, the most important being "salvation." The lost paradise and eternal life of Genesis are gained back by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and given to us as a free gift, when we confess our sins and receive Him by faith, trusting that His blood washes away our sins, by believing that He died and rose from the dead. Romans 10:9 says "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." and 1st John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The Bible is Truth. Jesus Christ said in John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." So, if you are looking for the Truth, there is nowhere else to look, read it in the pages of God's Book. Many try to get satisfaction in life without it, or apart from it, but I've found that the only way to contentment is found in reading, believing and following what God says through His Words. Jesus Christ also said in Matthew 4:4 "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." Feeding our stomachs only satisfies our bodies, but our spirits and souls stay empty. The Bible (every word that proceeds from the mouth of God) is the only food that satisfies the inner person, our spirits and souls.
Read it, believe it, follow Him; you will never be disappointed.
