1. You’ll know God better.

You’ve heard the expression, “Never judge a book by its cover.” Well, none of us can know God sufficiently without traversing the whole of his very Word!

2. You’ll know yourself better.

Pastor Kevin DeYoung clarifies an important point made by John Calvin when he writes, “Know God. Get yourself. Know yourself to know your need of God. Know God to know you are not gods.”

3. You’ll see how the whole Bible points to Jesus.

The entire Bible is about Jesus Christ, and points to him all the way through. The only way to see Jesus Christ to read all of Scripture!

4. You’ll be more in awe of the gospel.

Along with seeing how all of Scripture points to Christ, you will more clearly grasp God’s plan of salvation for sinners through his Son.

5. You’ll build an eternally-significant habit.

To read the entire Bible is to exercise intention and use self-discipline. This is no small feat, but it becomes routine once you make the commitment and repeat the habit consistently.

6. You’ll grow in prayer.

Prayer is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines. We struggle to know how to talk to God, what to say, and if he even hears us. So the best way to approach prayer is to begin with the Bible.

As the Bible is God’s very Word to you and me, we seek him in its illumined pages, listen to his truth, submit ourselves to his commands, and rejoice in his work on our behalf! We let our reading and meditating propel our prayers. We can pray Scripture word-for-word.
