I’m simply amazed that many people who sincerely believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, have never read it. That’s like never reading a love letter sent from a spouse overseas, or a recipe when your creating a brand new dish. The Bible is God’s lover letter to mankind, with the “recipe” for how to find joy in this life and the next. Why in heaven’s name do so many people make no effort to read it.
When I decided to read the entire Bible, family and friends told me that the Bible is too hard to understand. Perhaps this explains why none of them have ever read it. Just what excuses do we come up with for not reading the Bible? Here are the most common answers given when asked.
- It’s boring
- I never get anything out of it
- Too confusing
- Makes me sleepy
- Don’t know where to start
- Don’t have the time
Examine your heart, do you really believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God? If so, what excuse can there possibly be for not reading it?
