Why Study the Bible?

Good question! Glad you asked! And here's the answer my professor, Marty Richards, would give you... ten reasons I wholeheartedly affirm!

1. To learn about the origin of the universe. Most people believe in naturalism. We don't. Why?
2. To learn about the character of God. Most people don't believe God exists. We do, and we believe the Bible displays His character. What is He like?
3. To learn about the meaning of life. If you assume naturalism, all you are is dust, all you will be is dust, and soon you'll be worm food. Not too encouraging, eh?
4. To learn about the worth of a soul. If people only live because they are fit, can't we help natural selection by eliminating those who aren't fit?
5. To learn about the cause of evil and suffering. As C. S. Lewis would say, it is a megaphone telling the world something is wrong. What happened to the original creation?
6. To learn about the solution to loneliness. Why is it that we crave companionship?
7. To learn about the future of history. Naturalists are caught up in the cosmos. Is there something greater in store?
8. To learn about the way of salvation. How can my shattered life be repaired?
9. To learn about the source of joy. Some get joy from books, cookies and cream milkshakes, or religion. But what separates these from one another?
10. To learn about the life that comes after death. How can I know that instead of being worm food I will be a perpetual child of the King?
