In social life, I study to find out what works when I am out meeting people. God has blessed each of us with many gifts, and by studying we can learn how to better use those gifts. We may even have gifts that we did not realize that we had. When I study, I also mature in finding God's solutions to my life's needs. Also, when I study I am constantly reassured of God's love for me and that I am a child of God.
Study includes many different areas, as probably already noticed.
I want to share some of those ways. As a Christian, one of the most important things to do is study God's written word. As we read the Scriptures, we should try to see what the author is saying. Many people us devotionals, which include sections of Scripture, practical application to life. Others start by reading one of the shorter books of the Old or New Testament each day for awhile.
