Is it a good idea to read the Bible? Yes. It's a very good idea. Actually, it's a great idea. Here's why.
1. The Bible Develops a Foundation
Reading the Bible develops a foundation that you can draw on when you enter the kingdom of heaven, that is when you go through a change in the perception of your reality and become aware of your intention.
Knowing the stories from the Bible will help you draw parallels between the events that took place in the Bible and the events that are taking place in your life. They won't be exactly the same events, they'll be parallel stories.
Drawing parallels between your life and the Bible will provide comfort because you'll know what you're going through has purpose and has been ordained from above.
Think of it at prudent planning such as packing a grab bag in the event of an emergency. Anything is easier to handle if you're well prepared. Reading the Bible will prepare you for when you enter the kingdom of heaven.
2. The Bible Creates a Deficiency for God
Today we are so far away from God we question whether or not He exists.
If we are thirsty, we drink water. If we are hungry, we eat food. First the deficiency, then the fulfillment. Without a deficiency for God there is nothing for God to fulfill.
Reading the Bible creates a deficiency for God, especially if you read it with a desire to get to know Him. If you create a deficiency to get to know God, God will fulfill it. The greater the deficiency, the greater the fulfillment.
3. The Bible Provides Comfort
The Bible provides comfort in times of hardship. These are difficult times for a lot of people, it doesn't hurt to read a book that knows exactly what to say and seems to speak to us personally.
