You don’t have to read the Bible. On the face of it, plenty of people seem to get by without it. With so much to do, so many demands, reading an ancient book doesn’t feel pressing enough. But the question is, is “getting by” really the aim here? Jesus didn’t live, die, and rise again so we could coast through life, catching a snippet of Scripture here and there, hoping it’s enough. He came so we would have life—and have it abundantly. And that life, He tells us, depends on God’s Word.
