Biblical studies

jump right into the topic at hand. This article will take a different approach by first asking the question, Why study the Bible? This is both practical and foundational. It is practical because we will learn real reasons why studying the Bible is important, but it is also foundational because it will prepare us for future discussions on the importance of Bible study.

While not an exhaustive list, below are eight reasons for studying the Bible:


 * Cultural literacy
 * To learn what it says firsthand
 * Personal edification
 * To help others
 * Jesus
 * Because it is God’s Word to us
 * To know God better
 * Avoiding error
