Ten Reasons to Read the Bible Every Day - John Piper

1. Scripture Saves.

“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:16).

2. Scripture frees from Satan.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

3. Scripture imparts grace and peace.

“May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” (2 Peter 1:2).

4. Scripture sanctifies.

“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth” (John 17:17).

5. Scripture gives joy.

“You received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 1:6).

“His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2).

6. Scripture protects us from destructive error.

“Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God . . . so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:13–14).

7. Scripture is the hope of heaven.

“Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12).

8. Scripture will be resisted by some.

“The time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Timothy 4:3).

9. The right handling of Scripture is approved by God.

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

10. Scripture gives and sustains life.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
