Why We Study the Bible, Revisited

July 29, 2012 By Peter Krol

Not long ago, I posted a number of reasons for why we study the Bible.  They came down basically to the fact that understanding the Bible accurately enables us to know Christ better and find life in him.

Desiring God just posted a short video interview with D. A. Carson, where he covers similar ground.

You read it here.  Now go listen to the man who’s been doing it faithfully for many decades.  Learn from his example and draw near to God as you study his knowable word.

    Thanks again for the post Peter. He makes some great points. But we definitely need to love what He loves and to cherish what He cherishes. And the only way to find out what He loves and cherishes is through the studying the bible.
