"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 NIV
The Bible is worth reading because it is the authoritative guide for living. It’s the owner’s manual for every human life. It answers all the fundamental questions; Where did I come from? Where am I going? Is there a God? What’s He like? What does He want from me? Not only that, but it also addresses the kinds of practical issues and ethical choices we face every day. How you should treat people, including the people who mistreat you. Dealing with anger, raising children, wealth and poverty, self-control, marriages, family, how to resist temptation, and which temptations you should resist. Where to find hope and comfort in the midst of suffering. What it means to love someone. Discerning truth from falsehood, reality from appearance.
This is the bestseller Book all over the world and it's the oldest Book still alive and active today. Everything you need to know to live a happy and fulfilling life, a life pleasing to God, is in this book, The Bible. If you want to have understanding and discernment; if you want to be wise instead of foolish, then don’t spend all your free time watching TV. That’s hardly the route to wisdom. Don’t waste your time reading self-help books or watching movies. Read the Bible. In it you’ll find proven wisdom that has been around for thousands of years. True wisdom, the kind that comes from God and leads us to God.
