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?

Yes- it is very essential to knowing and loving God, to know how God’s love for us, how we should love God and others, the close intimacy with Him, to be able to imitate Him, to be Christlike in our Christian living, to be obey God because we are His children. I love the communication with Him, refreshing, renewing and the replenishing encounters with Him in my daily walk with Him unspeakable joy.
Yes- it is very essential for growing up in God, meditating, eating and digesting His Word in our heart, mind, soul, inner being and our daily life. Growing up in God more requires more for us, we become more seasoned in God’s Word, we adhere to God’s commandments, we learn to talk like Him, walk like Him, live like Him, we learn how to pray in the spirit of God, etc.
Yes- it is very essential to serve God to do His will not my will be done but let Your will be done in our lives. We should obey God commandments by serving the hunger, witnessing to the unsaved, encouraging each other, praying for each other and meet God’s requirements in serving Him according to His Word. -
I believe the order in which was stated, would be the the correct way for me.
We must know and love God in order to continue our growth in him and this would lead us to
be able to serve him better. -
I believe their original order makes the most sense. We must know and love God to grow in his word and server him. I believe they are all equally important but it makes the most sense in the original order.
-
To know God and love Him – the Trinity – is foremost that initial love that causes us to buy Bibles, share our testimony, and love people, otherwise we would not care about growing in God or serving Him.
-
The Bible is Essential for Growing up in God, is the most important. We have to grow in our understanding of who God is. We have to understand His omnipotence, His omniscience and His omnipresence. Only then will webegin to break the surface of knowing Him, and knowing why we should love Him. Only then can we serve Him in Spirit and Truth.
