Reading the Bible
Reading the Word of God is important because… The Word makes sure that we are right with the Lord. In Hebrews 4:12-13, the Word, which is sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrates and judges the condition of our hearts.

Verse 12 is an encouragement to a believer because the Lord has given us His…
Why should we read the Bible?
