  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?

  Personally I would prioritize to KNOW God first. I believe by just knowing Him you will start wanting to build your relationship with Him and Loving Him will come naturally. While building our relationship with God trying to know and love Him we will also be GROWING up in God and which Serving Him will come naturally.

  I believe all are of equal importance and value. If I had to prioritize them, I would probably start with It is essential to knowing and loving God so that you know how to grow in God which in turn would enable you to know how to then serve God.

  All three of these are equally important but if I had to categorize them I would put growing in God first because you always need to work on that. Second I would put knowing God and third serving God. I think you need to know God yourself before you can help others know Him.

  To me they are the same.

  In my walk, these three are tied together. Because I am growing in the Lord, I am growing in his service, and in his grace. I study the bible to know Jesus, to grow, and to understand what his will is for my life.
