5 Ways Daily Bible Reading Will Change Your Life

January 25, 2017 By Peter Krol

Keely Needham writes about “5 Ways Daily Bible Reading Impacts Your Life.” Sometimes we struggle to feel excited about daily Bible reading, and that’s normal. We shouldn’t expect a mountaintop experience every time. The daily discipline will, sometime imperceptibly, change our lives.

Why should we read the Bible every day? Does it make a difference? Is it just something good Christians do? Or is it a legalistic habit that’s unnecessary to a healthy walk with God? If we don’t understand why it matters, we likely won’t make it a priority. Here are five analogies to bring to life the purposes of a consistent, daily study of God’s Word.

Her 5 metaphors for how daily Bible reading affects us:

  1. A House: Getting to know God
  2. An Anchor: Renewing your mind
  3. Glasses: Giving clarity
  4. Chemo: Killing sin
  5. Vocab: Fuel for a living relationship

So as you keep plugging away, you are getting to know this true God, and you’re learning how to view yourself and live in God’s world. There’s often not much razzle-dazzle, but the transformation is still supernatural and glorious.
