5 Reasons To Make Bible Study a Habit This Year | TheRebelution

What are your goals for 2018?

With the new year just begun—and a new semester starting soon—most of us have some sort of goal in mind. Maybe you plan to read a certain number of books. Maybe you want to start running, biking, or working out. Maybe you’re just looking forward to starting school again refreshed and rested.

But what are your goals in relation to God’s word?

As Christian teens, our top priority is not reading, exercise, or even schoolwork. Those things are important—but our relationship with God is essential.

Christianity isn’t just a lot of rules to follow. Nor is it merely a ticket out of hell into heaven. Christianity is a relationship with the God who made us—a relationship where our all-powerful Creator loves us and cares for us. The most important goal for our lives is to know Him better.

And that only happens through the Bible: the eternal, unchanging words that He communicated to us.

Because of this, a lot of us will make some kind of goal to be in God’s word more this year. Maybe you’ll start a reading plan, or set up a schedule that gives you an extra half-hour for Bible reading. And those are some of the most important “New Year’s resolutions” we can make.
