  How would you prioritize the three reasons given in this lesson for studying the Bible: “It is essential to knowing and loving God;” “It is essential for growing up in God;” and “It is essential to serving God”? What is the basis for how you prioritize them?

  Sometimes I though the order doesn’t really matter. Because I knew that God loves me and I love God, and then I wanted to serve God in one of the ways. While I served, I grew up in God, and then I studied more, learned and loved God more. If I have to place them in a order, it’s more like a two-way triangle.

  It is essential to know and love God

  It is essential to grow in knowledge of God

  It is essential to serve God and fulfill advancing my maturity and His Kingdom

  One builds on the other. You can’t build with the end goal without the first blocks

  They are equally important

  1. It is essential to knowing God.
  2. It is essential to growing up in God.
  3. It is essential to serving God.

  I want to fully know the God who loves me. I believe that is the way to “grow” in Him….Then He can direct me in faithfully serving.

  I think studying the bible gives you a deeper understanding of who God is. It helps you to understand his character and his ways. I want to know God deeply and not just superficially and I want to know his word and hide it in my heart that I might not sin against him. I want to also grow in my relationship with God. I know that I have not been growing due to a lack of bible study and understanding of who God is and what he requires of me.

  I long to be obedient and without knowing God’s Word, I can never be that. Moreover, I need the hope that is found in the Bible; therefore, this reason would most important and once God’s Word is settled in my heart, I can begin to grow and out of that growth the ability to serve properly .
