Reading your Bible on a daily basis can change your life, your thoughts, your relationships, your actions and even your words simply by changing the way you think. This short Bible study will reveal the three most important reasons you should study your Bible daily.

Why should we study the Bible?
There are three main reasons it is important to read your Bible daily which are to gain knowledge, gain the Lord's approval, and prevent being deceived by others.

• Gain knowledge

​By studying the Bible you learn what the Lord expects from you, His commandments and laws, how to overcome adversity, gain strength and good health, as well as, how to conduct ourselves in our daily lives.

• Gain the Lord's approval

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15​

• Prevent being deceived by false teachers

One of the most important reasons you should study your Bible is to prevent being deceived by others. Read your Bible so that you will know when someone is telling the truth when they are talking about the Lord or teaching the Bible.
The Word was here since the earth was created
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All  things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-51.
