More Reasons to Read the Entire Bible Quickly

For a few years, I’ve promoted the idea of reading the entire Bible as quickly as possible. I’ve made it my annual practice beginning on New Year’s Day for 6 years now, and it shows no sign of slowing.

What do I get out of the practice?

1. It helps me grasp the overall story of the Bible.
2. It reminds me the Bible is a work of literature.
3. It gets me through the difficult parts more easily.
4. It heightens my anticipation for Christ.

Now I have some more reasons to offer you, courtesy of Jordan Standridge:

1. It caused me to understand that I exist for the purpose of glorifying God.
2. It caused me to believe in the absolute sovereignty of God.
3. It caused me to see that the sovereign God of Scripture was sovereign over my personal life as well.
4. It was clear that God called His people to stick out from the world.
5. It showed me that I am totally depraved.
6. It showed me that people need God.
