Some Christians never read the Bible. It's true, and the truth hurts most of the time. Many young Christians nowadays don't bother to read the Bible for a couple reasons. First, they find the stories in the Bible either boring or unbelievable and second, why read the Bible when you can learn all about it in Church?

But there are many important reasons why Christians should read the Bible and Bible verses, one being the Bible is "God-breathed" as referenced in 2 Timothy 3:16. By all means, the Bible is God speaking to us, and therefore we should listen. Ignoring the Bible is like turning your back on God while He is trying to tell you something.

Here are other reasons why Christians should read the Bible and Bible verses and quotes:

1. Reading the Bible brings us closer to God

Reading the Bible, ultimately, brings us closer to no one else but to God. Have you ever wondered why life can be so harsh at time? Don't you wish God had created some sort of manual we could follow towards a satisfying and fulfilling life?

Well, God did that, and He did it in the form of the Bible. God outlines in the Bible how He intends for us to live as good Christians. So we should definitely read the Bible and apply it to our daily lives as much as possible.

2. Reading the Bible brings us closer to our family

Finding the time to read the Bible together as a family isn't going to be easy, but it's an activity that's very much worth the effort, no matter how you look at it. As much as possible, try not to read the Bible by yourself, but rather together with your partner and, if you have them, kids.

Reading and understanding the Bible verses together as a family ensures that you are learning the same wisdom and life lessons as a parent together with your children. This is a priceless result of the simple act of reading the Bible together as a family.

Reading the Bible has so many advantages it's a mystery why some Christians would rather not do it. If it brings you closer to God, then by all means, put your effort into it.
