Why should we obey the Bible?


Becca asks:

Why should we do what the Bible says?
Denny answers:

Because the Bible is God's Word, we should obey it.

The Bible is unlike any other book because the Bible's every word is God's own, true Word. Men and women and boys and girls can read the Bible all their lives and still discover new things God has to teach them. The Bible teaches us what God is like, what He wants us to do, and how we can go to heaven.

The Bible is the only book that we can completely trust and believe, so we must live by its teachings. If we don't do what the Bible says, we cannot please God. If you trust and obey God's Word, you will honor God and find true life. The only way to do what the Bible says is to turn from your own way and trust Jesus.

Bible Truth
  • "Blessed is the one who reads the words of God's message, and blessed are the people who hear this message and do what is written in it. The time is near when all of this will happen" (Revelation 1:3, NCV).

  • "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says" (James 1:22).


  • "You have been born again, and this new life did not come from something that dies, but from something that cannot die. You were born again through God's living message that continues forever" (1 Peter 1:23, NCV).
