The bible is an important object in my family. We use it to nourish our spirits, stay close to Christ, and bring others to Christ. My family and I believe in Jesus Christ as our savior, and we believe the bible serves to help us worship our Lord and recognize Him for His great power. My family and I view reading our bibles as a necessity so that we can grow in our faith and avoid straying away from it, and we also do bible studies to learn more about the gospel and various stories throughout the bible.
The bible is also used as a way to communicate with Christ whenever we need His guidance. It doesn’t just include the story of Jesus and the faithful people He utilized for His glory, but it also includes verses throughout the book to warn us, comfort us, and mature us. My family will occasionally remind me of loving verses of comfort whenever I’m going through a tough time, and it helps me remember that I have a loving God who will always take care of me no matter what troubles I may be going through.
My family and I take good care of our bibles because we value our Lord’s word. Out of the many versions of the bible, I resonate with the New King James version because it feels easier to read and interpret for me. The bible reminds me of how I came to love Christ because we receive the message that we are never too far away to come to God and He can make a change for the better in everyone’s lives.
