Do you know that studying the Word can change not just your spiritual life but also your physical life in unimaginable ways?
People often leave studying the Bible for Sundays only, especially during sermons, failing to recognize the necessity of ongoing Bible study and how it will substantially enrich their lives. That is why I decided to talk about the transforming power of studying the Word today by highlighting a few benefits to help you see why studying the word is beneficial to your personal life.
- It Bestows Victory Upon Us
We learn that victory is certain and assured when we study the Bible on a regular basis, even when everything appears to be going against us. Deuteronomy 20:4 and 1John 5:4 are two bible verses that shed more light on this promise.
- It Gives Much-Needed Encouragement
Life, as we know it, is full of ups and downs. As a Christian, you can turn to the Bible for hope and encouragement to keep going when things get tough. The Bible tells us that God is with us no matter what we go through. (John 16:33).
- It Holds Us Accountable
The Bible contains God’s laws and promises. It is a clear guide on how we should live our lives. This holds us accountable. You no longer do things on your own accord. Instead, you rely on God’s guidance for everything.
This accountability is also seen in your small groups. By belonging to a Bible study small group, you enjoy direct access to a family that truly cares about your spiritual growth. People who will encourage and support you while also holding you accountable.
- It Promotes Maturation And Growth
The word of God holds the power to transform your relationship with God to a deeper level. 1 Peter 2:2-3 tells us the need to grow as Christians. And this growth comes through constant studying of the Bible.
- It Has A Profound Impact On Our Families, Businesses, And Society
Studying the Word teaches us how to love and live in peace with one another (1 Corinthians 1:10), fostering a spirit of togetherness in the workplace and instilling in us the mindset of doing our best in the workplace to please our heavenly father rather than our earthly boss (Colossians 3:23-24).
- It Provides Us With Clarity And Wisdom
It is completely normal to have lots of puzzling questions. It happens to every Bible student. Sometimes you may even question your faith. But once you study God’s word, you begin to see things clearly. Those doubts fly out the door. You gain the wisdom of God and the peace that come with it.
- It Provides Us With Peacefulness
The peace of the Lord is one perk we don’t discuss enough. This peace is different from whatever is out there in the world. This is peace that money cannot buy. The peace that passes all human understanding. This is what you enjoy in God’s presence. As you study the Word, you are sure of a life of peace despite the trials and tribulations in the world. You get comfort and hope that nothing can take away.
Conclusion
The Bible on your nightstand is not some history book. It is a powerful book that can transform any life. From your marriage to your academics and even your business, you will begin to experience this transforming power as you devote yourself to studying the word of God.
