Why do we need to read the bible? There are many reasons. The bible is our compass to the truth. This world is full of false teachings
and false truths. The bible tells us that the ruler of this world is the father of lies (2 Corinthians 4:4). We need to protect
ourselves from these things. The bible also helps us fight off sin (Psalm 119:11). When we are in His Word, we are feeding our
souls. We do need to eat physically but there are two parts of us that we need to feed. Our spirit and our physical bodies. But as Christians, the bible tells us to feed our souls with His word. Jesus said, when He was tempted… “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” We can literally become spiritually weak if we don’t read the bible and it leaves us vulnerable to temptation and spiritual attacks. This means that we need a defense. That is why the bible is considered our sword, according to Ephesians 6. So be sure to get your nutrients from above by opening the bible daily!
