This question has been asked many times by millions of people over the years and I want to address it at least in part now. There are so many different reasons why it is important to read the Bible, and why we as Christians should read and study the Bible each day. I will give some verses and reasons why we should read and study the Bible, as well as some helpful websites that you can check out that will hopefully help you in the question.
One reason is because it is the Words of God and we are commanded to read it and study it and memorize it.
2 Timothy 2:15; Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Tmothy 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.
2 Peter 1:3; as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
These verses explain that we as Christians should diligently study God's Word and should put in hard work in our study. They also explain that the Word of God is usable and useful to us for us to live godly. Not only that, but it is ALL we need to live a life that is both pleasing to God and full of joy and contentment. God never promises a perfect life or even a life without struggle. But He does promise peace and rest in Matthew 11:28-29, for those who trust in Him.
The following website also gives great insight into reasons for reading the Bible and some other great points about the truth of Scripture and of the evidence of Jesus and the events of the Bible in history. Check it out!
