We’re kicking off the Year of Studying series with one of the most important foundations: understanding why we study. Studying isn’t just about gaining knowledge—it shapes how we think, strengthens our faith, and should govern how we live. The Bible shows us that knowing God requires intentional pursuit, and we’re encouraged to search His Word daily. Dive into the class below, and take a moment to explore this blog as you begin your journey.
Benefits of Studying
We should study to show ourselves approved—not to impress others, but to be approved of by God. Our focus isn’t on recognition or pride, but on aligning our hearts and minds with His truth. As 2 Timothy 2:15 reminds us, we are called to “rightly divide the word of truth,” handling Scripture with care, accuracy, and understanding. When we truly study, we build a solid foundation in what we believe, we don’t have to make it up. Instead, we speak and live with confidence rooted in truth.
His Word Gives Life
We don’t just live by God’s Word, we are made alive through it. Scripture shows us that His Word is not just text or instruction, but it is alive! In John 6:63, we’re reminded that His word is “Spirit and life.” Throughout Psalm 119, we see the repeated truth that the Word quickens—meaning it makes us alive. The Bible lets us know that we are born of incorruptible seed and that seed is the word of God (1 Pet. 1:23). Everything begins with His Word!
