  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?

  Number 1: It is essential to knowing and loving God. The reason that this is number one is because to serve God or grow up in God we must first know and love him. As we study we deepen that relationship with him. Jesus said the most important commandment is to Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

  Number 2: It is essential to serving God. This is number two because we don’t need to be grown in our faith to start serving God, but we need to know who he is and love him. As we study more we understand how to serve better.

  Number 3: It is essential for growing up in God. This is number three because we need to know and love God first otherwise these next two would be irrelevant. As in how would a person grow in a God if you didn’t know or love him? and then growing in God is below serve because how could you grow in a God that you don’t first know, love and serve?

  In this order, It is essential for growing up in God, it is essential to knowing and loving God, and It is essential to serving God. Why? Because I feel as we study and read the Bible, God reveals Himself to us, loving God more and more becomes natural and the more we love God the more we have in our heart to serve Him and people.

  First we must know and love God and then we should focus our time and energy to spiritually grow up in God and then lastly, we must make the big push to serve God with all our heart, mind, body, and soul. I think there is importance in the order of succession.
