  How would you prioritize the three reasons given in this lesson for studying the Bible: “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?

  I would prioritize them in the way they are written because knowing and loving God gives you the motivation to grow which in turn gives on the basis to serve; however, it should not be considered like a math class where one must master one before moving on to the other. Rather one should work to grow in all three areas.

  Knowing, Growing, Serving.

  I believe in order for you to be grown, you have to be known. So known is first, then grown. Serving to me just naturally comes with being known and growing.

  1 Knowing and Loving

  2 Growing

  3 Serving

  We have to Know and Love before we can grow much less effectively serve.

  First would be knowing and loving God, then growing up in God, and serving God can go hand-in-hand. Before we can grow and reliably serve God, we should seek to know and love who he is. Yet, all are equally as important.

  They seem to me to be joined together; growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus involves all three consistently
