How would you prioritize the three reasons given in this lesson for studying the Bible for yourself: “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? Are any of the three reasons more or less important for you than the others? Do you have other reasons than these?
-
I would prioritize knowing and loving God first, growing up in God second and serving God third. The basis for how I prioritized them is because I believe I have to know and love God before I can grow in Him and I must know and love God to ensure the service I offer is what He desires. I think it knowing Him is most important for me. The only other reason I have would be so that I live my life in a way that reflects the heart of Christ.
-
All three reasons are important. First you would want to get to know God, because you have to know if this is the right path for you, secondly determine if you are ready to serve Him based on His plans and thirdly, committing yourself to the ministry. All is connected in a way to make you a better person in Christ.
-
Before I can love God I have to know God! So if I grow up in God and do what is taught via Sunday school, Bible study or church service then I’ll love Him more and serve Him more. So growing up is important, then knowing and serving next.
-
1. Know and Love God 2. Grow up in God 3. Serve God. They are prioritized this way because the “Know and Love God is essential for me to continue to grow and then better serve.
-
I am prioritizing serving, growing, and knowing. I chose serving first because in order to affect those around me, I must first serve the Lord.
