*10 REASONS YOU NEED TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY.*
*1. THE TRUTH.*
The Bible teaches us the Truth.
If you want to find out what is truth, then you need to read the Bible.
Truth is not an opinion or a concept. Truth is a Person, who said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no - one comes to the Father except through Me." *John 14:6.*
*2. GOD INSPIRED.*
The Bible, although written by various people over decades, was inspired by God.
*2 Timothy 3: 16-17* “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
*3. FAITH.*
What is faith?
*Hebrews 11:1* "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Without faith we can't please God.
*Hebrews 11 : 16* "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
*4. SALVATION.*
Why do we need salvation?
Salvation is needed because sin separates individuals from God.
*Romans 3 : 23* " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
*Romans 3 : 10* "There is none righteous, no not one."
*Romans 6 : 23* "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
*5. REDEMPTION*.
In the Bible, redemption refers to the act of being saved from sin, error, or evil, often associated with the idea of buying back or paying a ransom.
*Colossians 1:13-14* "He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins."
*6. TRANSFORMATION.*
We all need to be transformed.
*Romans 12: 2* “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
*7. DECEPTION.*
Jesus identifies Satan as a liar and the father of lies, emphasizing the source of deception.
*Matthew 24 : 4* "Take heed that no man deceives you."
*1 Timothy 4:1* "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons."
*8. FORGIVENESS.*
When we repent, we are given full forgiveness of our sins because of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
This powerful Bible verse about forgiveness not only applies to the act of forgiving others but also the act of forgiving yourself.
*Jeremiah 31:34* (NIV) “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
*1 John 1:9* - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
*9. BIBLE PROPHECY.*
Approximately 2,500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2,000 of which already have been fulfilled. Several Old Testament prophecies foretell the birth of Jesus, including *Isaiah 7:14* (the virgin birth), *Micah 5:2* (born in Bethlehem), and *Isaiah 9:6* (name and attributes).
*10. THE SECOND COMING.*
In Biblical Greek, harpazó (ἁρπάζω) means "to seize, snatch, take away by force". It is often translated as "caught up" or "caught away" in contexts related to the rapture of believers, as seen in *Acts 8:39* and I *Thessalonians 4:15-18.*
"For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."
