Is the word of God important for us? Well I see many christians who seem to ignore the word of God, and they don't seem to care about it. But it is realy important for us to read the word of God?
I will give you some reasons to do it.
First of all in the word is life. In John 1 it says: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
In him was life. So if you want life, how about you read the Bible?
Second, the word is food for our iner man.
In Mathew 4 Jesus says:4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Man shall LIVE by every word of God.
Third, the word of God will keep you from sining. Ps. 119:11 says: I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
If this is not enough to make you read the word of God every day read this:
Ps 19:7 God’s Word is perfect in every way;
how it revives our souls!
His laws lead us to truth,
and his ways change the simple into wise.
8 His teachings make us joyful and radiate his light;
his precepts are so pure!
His commands, how they challenge us to keep close to his heart!
The revelation-light of his word makes my spirit shine radiant.
9 Every one of the Lord’s commands is right;
following them brings cheer.[d]
Nothing he says ever needs to be changed.
10 The rarest treasures of life are found in his truth.
That’s why I prize God’s word like others prize the finest gold.
Nothing brings the soul such sweetness
as seeking his living words.
11 For they warn us, his servants,
and keep us from following the wicked way,
giving a lifetime guarantee:
great success to every obedient soul!
To show us how important is the word of God, Jesus named himself the word of God and He gave his life for us so that we may live and if you believe in Him with all your heart and confess with your mouth that He is your Lord you shall be saved.
