Pick Up Your Bible was started to encourage fellow Christians to read the Bible. Pretty simple.
Our lives as Christians become truly remarkable when we take the time to study the Word of God and pray in the Holy Spirit.
The only way to know God is to have Him show you who He is. Moses knew this to be true and hence cried out to the Lord in prayer “Please show me now your ways, that I may know you…”
To say you know God is to say you know His ways. To say you know His ways you must indeed study them. Thankfully, He gave us the textbook.
IMHO, the three most pressing reasons to read our Bibles constantly are as follows:
Firstly, it’s God’s chosen method of revealing Himself to humanity. We must know what He says about Himself. Else our confession of Christ is but empty, untrue words.
Secondly, the Bible is the only true source against which we can and should test our understanding of Him. It is imperative that what we know of God is true. There are many who translate God to us. Many convincing voices (yes, including the one in your head) that claim to know Him. Do not be deceived.
Thirdly, we need to constantly remind ourselves of the truth of the Word in order to align our daily thoughts and actions to it. In our pursuit to be like Christ we must know who Christ is by his own account. The adversary makes good use of our bad memory, poor understanding and our plain lack of interest. We need to be on the offence.
Of course, there are numerous more reasons to read your Bible but for the sake of this blog post not going on into eternity, we shall stick to these three. These three are plenty reason to pick up your Bible.
In this blog, I share what I have learnt from spending time in the Word of God. I hope it is encouraging to you and creates in you a craving to read it for yourself.
In Christ alone,
Cynthia.
