📚 Read the Bible — Don’t Let Someone Else Define God for You

If the only time you hear Scripture is from a preacher’s mouth or a social media clip, you’re in danger.

You can’t survive on secondhand faith.

You need the Word of God for yourself.

📖 Why Read the Bible?

Because you can’t follow Jesus if you don’t know His voice.

You can’t spot a lie if you’ve never learned the truth.

And you can’t live a life that pleases God if you don’t even know what He said.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” – Hosea 4:6

🚫 Don’t Just Assume They’re Right

False teachers quote the Bible.

Cults quote the Bible.

The devil himself quoted Scripture when he tempted Jesus (Matthew 4:6).

The question isn’t “Do they sound biblical?”

The question is “Is what they’re saying actually true in context?”

And you won’t know that…

unless you read it.

✅ The Bible Is:

• God’s voice in written form
• A weapon against lies and temptation (Ephesians 6:17)
• A lamp for your path (Psalm 119:105)
• A sword that divides truth from error (Hebrews 4:12)
• A love letter and war manual all in one

🔥 You Need It Daily

You don’t eat once a week.

Why treat the Bread of Life that way?

Jesus said,

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

🙌 Start Now

• Don’t wait to feel ready.
• Start in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John).
• Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes.
• Take notes. Ask questions. Keep going.

Don’t depend on the crowd. Don’t rely on tradition.

Go to the source.

Open your Bible.

Meet the real Jesus.
