At Summit Bible Center, our mission is to help those seeking Christ to grow in their faith, offering support and guidance to help you to further the Kingdom of God. One of the many ways we do this is by providing opportunities for group Bible study. In this article, we will go over a few reasons why we encourage all Christians to make Bible study a regular part of their religious practice, as we believe it is essential for living out their faith journey.
- Bible Study Teaches You How to Pray – One reason why we encourage all Christians to pursue Bible study is because the Gospels contain countless examples of Jesus in prayer. There is no better model for prayer than the words and actions of our Lord. Whether you are new to the faith or are returning to it after a time away, it is important to learn to pray, and the Bible provides the perfect example.
- Bible Study Reveals God’s Will – Another reason why Bible study is an essential part of Christian life is because it is how we learn God’s will. In the Bible, God clearly spells out what He wants us to do—and not do—in our lives in order to remain holy.
- Bible Study Reveals God’s Character – A third reason why we highly recommend regular Bible study is because the text of the Bible reveals God’s character. If you want to know God on a more personal level, we encourage you to read about Him and the love He lavishes on us all.
