Bible-reading: How can I express its importance?
How can I put it into the right words?
What argument can I use to encourage you to pick up this life-giving book?
If you don’t believe it’s all that important, why not? What are the reasons that you allow it to take a backseat to the other priorities in your life? Let’s talk about it and see if we can get to the bottom of the issue here.
I have a few more questions for you, intended to provoke you to action.
How can you claim to believe something you’ve never even read?
How do you know what the Bible says about where we came from, how we are supposed to worship, what obedience entails, and where we are going to end up? If you haven’t read the Bible to glean these answers, then you are merely believing what someone told you. You are choosing a person to trust rather than the Word of God itself.
Is there anything within its pages that would surprise you? How do you know?
Is there hidden treasure inside that might be the answer to the persistent questions or problems in your life? What if you’re missing it?
His words are truth. His instructions are life. Please don’t miss out. That book over there, sitting on the shelf collecting dust – it has the power to change you, but first you have to read it.
