Bible Answer: It is very important to engage in serious Bible study as it helps one to draw closer to God. It helps us to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. It gives us the answers we need for those who show a genuine interest in wanting Christ in their lives. It also helps Christians to be able to work together in the church, work place, and at home. It also helps us to work among unbelievers. It gives us a Godly perspective on worldly ways. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says that "all Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." |
