5 Reasons to Read the Entire Bible This Year

April 20, 2016 By Peter Krol

Back in December, Jeff Robinson gave 5 good reasons to read the entire Bible in 2016. How are you doing with your reading plan? Do you think it’s still worth it to read the Bible this year? Let Robinson’s 5 reasons motivate you to press on:

  1. It helps you learn the overarching story of Scripture.
  2. It will improve your ability to interpret and exegete Scripture.
  3. It will keep you habitually in the Bible.
  4. It will ensure you are engaging (and being engaged by) Scripture at least as frequently as you’re engaging other books.
  5. It will force you to navigate those tricky, less traveled roads of Scripture.

Robinson explains each point and gives ideas for how to get started. Though it’s not still January, it’s not too late to get going. Check it out!
