Explain the importance for Christians of their sacred texts?

Answer 1

They are important because they are the infallible Word of God! They are God's message to humanity. In them, we find the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ who died to pay the penalty for our sins.

Answer 2

The apostle Peter encouraged all to "form a longing for the unadulterated milk belonging to the word." (1 Peter 2:2) Those who satisfy that longing through Bible study and who apply Bible teachings have a clean conscience and a purpose in living. They develop enduring friendships with others who also love and serve the true God. All of these are valid reasons to "delight in the law of God." (Romans 7:22) But there are even more benefits.

The more you learn about Jehovah and his Son, the more your love for them and your fellow humans will grow. Having accurate Scriptural knowledge helps you to see how God will soon save obedient mankind from this dying system. You have a positive message of good news to share with people in your ministry. Jehovah will bless you as you teach others the things that you have learned from reading God's Word.

Jehovah does not want his servants to rush through a reading of his Word. He told Joshua of ancient times: "This book of the law should not depart from your mouth, and you must in an undertone read in it day and night." (Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:2) Does this instruction require that you literally utter in a low voice all the words you read from Genesis to Revelation? No. It means that you should read at a pace that allows for meditation. When you read the Bible "in an undertone," it will help you to fix attention on portions that are especially useful and encouraging to you at that moment. On finding such phrases, verses, or accounts, read them slowly, perhaps forming the words with the tongue and lips. The full weight of a Scriptural point may strike you in a deeply personal way. Why is this important? Because getting the sense of God's counsel gives you strong motivation to put it into practice.
