Prophets, church leaders, advisors, teachers, and parents all talk and teach about the importance of studying the scriptures. Why is studying the Scriptures so important? - Studying the scriptures is important because of the covenants we have made. - Studying the scriptures is important because of the direction we need in our lives. - Studying the scriptures is important because scripture study is a preparation for and prerequisite to receiving personal revelation. These are three doctrinal reasons why studying the Scriptures is so important. Knowing this, first of all, no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21). The Bible isn't an easy book. It was written by God in ancient times through people of different languages and cultures than our own, whose immediate audiences were different from us in many ways. It's also a book written by God about God and the work he's doing in the world. A work by such a divine Author, on such an immense topic, should be difficult to fully comprehend. So we need to study and wrestle with God's word and understand its worth in our lives. The book, ""Bible Study for Youth"" will surely help many young people to live a Biblical, Christ-centered and Victorious life.
