When you get a new board game, you need the instructions to play it the right way. Without them, everyone would make up different rules and the game would fall apart. The Bible is the instruction book God wrote for how to know him.
Application
Pick one verse from your Bible reading this week and say it out loud at dinner. Because God gave you his Word, you can learn something from it each day.
