Regular Bible study is an important aspect of practicing the Christian faith. The Bible is God’s word, and the learnings collected from this sacred text can be interpreted and applied to all aspects of life. Discover some specific reasons to keep up with your studies regularly below.  

3 Reasons to Attend Bible Study

1. Become More Knowledgeable & Worldly

The teachings of the Bible are conceptualized in countless works of art, literature, philosophical belief systems, and other mediums across the globe. Regular readings allow you to become more culturally literate. You’ll be better prepared for informed conversations with people from different walks of life on topics such as art, history, and language. 

2. Develop a Firsthand Understanding

Many Christians find comfort in listening to sermons, during which a pastor reads a passage from the Bible and relays important messages, possibly drawing connections to the community or current events.

While engaging in this experience allows you to connect to God’s word through your church community, it’s also important to establish your own understanding of the text. You may find passages that speak to you in new ways, inspiring you to help others, or other key messages you may have previously overlooked.

3. Find Comfort & Guidance 

During struggles or times of discomfort, the word of God can restore and nourish your spirit. Bible study offers limitless comfort, as it can confirm your salvation, offer guidance and restoration, and lead you down the righteous path whenever circumstances may feel amiss. Coupled with regular worship sessions, Bible readings allow you to understand God’s word and collect wisdom that helps you make better choices and grow.
