The ultimate purpose for reading the Bible is to come into a place of worship. Like other things in life, things that amaze us today in the Bible become common over time. We lose our wonder. Being on guard for this is the first step to avoiding it. God doesn't need our worship, but it is how we encounter Him and how He imparts to us. Without Scripture, we can't know God. It is His greatest gift to us - Himself and the ability to worship Him. Worship is one of the only things we get to do here on earth that we will also do in Heaven! By reading our Bibles with faith and expectation, worshiping Him for His supreme worth and beauty, we will become more like Him, drawing more people into the family of God.
