193: Why Read the Bible - Jim Logan

The Bible is essential for spiritual growth, as it was written to instruct believers, provide endurance, and offer encouragement, enabling them to live in unity and harmony with one another. Rooted in Romans 15:4–7, the passage reveals that Scripture fosters Christ-like acceptance, aligns hearts with God’s purpose, and ultimately leads to collective worship and glory to the Father. Reading the Bible is not merely an intellectual exercise but a transformative practice that equips believers to endure trials, support one another, and reflect Christ’s example. The devotional emphasizes that true Christian living—marked by unity, acceptance, and shared purpose—depends on regular engagement with Scripture. Without this engagement, one cannot fully fulfill the divine call to bring glory to God. Therefore, consistent Bible reading is both a duty and a privilege for every believer.
