Why Reading the Holy Bible Matters Today

Discovering Truth, Purpose and Hope in God’s Word

Fuel Your Faith

In every generation, people ask deep questions: *Why am I here? What is truth? Where do I find peace and hope?” While the world offers countless answers, only one source has stood the test of time—the Holy Bible. Far more than a religious artifact or historical document, Scripture is alive. It is God’s Word, breathed out by Him, meant to guide, shape, and transform us.

For the follower of Christ, reading the Bible is not optional; it’s essential. It’s how we grow in our relationship with God, discern His will, and stand strong in a culture that constantly shifts. Even for those just beginning to explore faith, the Bible offers an open invitation to encounter God Himself.

“Peer pressure against reading the Holy Bible just proves they know nothing about it or never even read it. Keep in mind that Satan has his minions working against the Holy Bible every day without fail to stop you.”
H John J

Why Should You Care About Reading the Holy Bible?

It Reveals God’s Heart and Character

The Bible is God’s revelation of who He is—loving, just, merciful, and faithful. Reading it helps you know Him personally.

It Provides Timeless Wisdom For Life

From relationships to decision-making, the Bible offers guidance that transcends culture and time.

It Strengthens Faith and Hope

In seasons of doubt, fear, or struggle, Scripture reminds us of God’s promises and gives us courage to keep going.

It Brings Transformation

As you read and apply its teachings, the Word renews your mind, changes your perspective, and shapes you to live more like Christ.

It Connects You to God’s Bigger Story

Reading the Bible reveals that your life is part of God’s greater plan of redemption and purpose.

It Equips You To Discern the Truth

In a culture filled with opinions and misinformation, the Bible helps you distinguish between God’s truth and the world’s distractions.

But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:2

Chronological Reading
A Connection With God

Some people treat reading the Bible like a chore or duty, but it’s really an invitation. Every time you open Scripture, you’re stepping into a conversation with God. He speaks through His Word. He encourages, corrects, convicts, and comforts.

Think of it this way: just as we cannot grow close to a friend without spending time listening and talking with them, we cannot grow close to God without spending time in His Word. Reading the Bible is a daily choice to draw near to Him.

The Bible is not just another book. It is the very Word of God—living, active, and powerful. It is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). In its pages, you will find not only wisdom for today but hope for eternity.

So why should you care about reading the Holy Bible? Because in doing so, you are caring for your soul. You are inviting God to lead, guide, and transform you. Don’t let the dust collect on its cover—open it, read it, and let the words of life draw you closer to the One who wrote them.

Should I Start Reading From the Beginning?

The Holy Bible may seem like a cumbersome book when you look at it, but it is still just a book. There are many chapters and each has a specific theme.

For instance, Psalms is about songs by David made into the gospel regarding God, and what makes a better life.

John is about Jesus and his life, and the words HE spoke to the disciples (John was a disciple). The verses with Jesus speaking are in red (in most Holy Bibles).

Proverbs explains how-to live a good and righteous life, and about all the evil that surrounds us daily.

The Book of James gives us an easy guide to how to live a good and righteous life everyday. My personal favorite.

Genesis provides the history of the world and man, and women as said by God (to men).

Don’t be misled by those who say, “It’s

hard to read.” That would be an older version but the King James version makes it easier.

So, where should you start reading? Some would say at the beginning. Others would say pick a chapter, and we would say start with Proverbs.

Why? Because it is simple, and gets right into the best ways to live your life, and how to deal with many emotional problems. Also, try to truly understand what you are reading, and re-read it again if you are unsure.

Someone suggested reading a chapter over again until you understand it completely. I started in a chapter, than another, and in no particular order. My wife on the other hand starts at the beginning. This is her 4th, 5th or 20th beginning. Yes, of the whole book. She said she lost count of how many times she read it.
