Why Read the Bible?

The highest goal of Bible reading is not to find wisdom for living, or to internalize a list of dos and don’ts — but to know and enjoy Jesus.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video that made it so much easier for me to understand exactly what a topical textbook is or a topical Bible is. I couldn’t remember why I bought these books to begin with...lol but as you spoke I remembered that when I was reading the Bible there were so many simple sentences I just couldn’t understand and I found myself looking for the meaning of very small words like “brethren” ...brother; That brought me to a video on YouTube mentioning topical readings. Tysm! I really understood what you were explaining...we have to really READ the Bible to find God’s meaning! Have a blessed day!

Good advice... "Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths." ~ Baha'u'llah
