For example, we all have relationships with spouses, siblings, parents, friends. If we are all close to them then we know what makes them tick, we know their likes and dislikes, personal beliefs and convictions and then we act accordingly. When we study the Bible, it is an opportunity for us  to know what pleases and displeases God and why He gave us these commands, laws, life lessons and stories. There are so many questions that people have asked throughout the ages and have been answered for us in the Scripture. But how will we know that if we don’t study it? Moreover, Bible study helps us to distinguish between the real and fake. How are you going to live a life of Christ but don’t know what that means or entails? We have to take that into consideration, especially now that the Gospel of Christ has been perverted and corrupted with false doctrines and teaching for selfish personal gain.
