Question:
I became a Christian two years ago. I was told that I should read the Bible every day, but it is hard to understand. I am not doing anything wrong.  I obey the Ten Commandments. I just don't like to read the Bible. Do I really need to?

Answer:
You will receive many benefits from reading the Word of God:
Life - John 6:63
Health - Proverbs 4:20
A Guiding Light - Psalm 119:105
Food for your Spirit - Matthew 4:4
  The natural man needs natural food; the spirit man needs spiritual food - John 4:32
  Milk is for babies - 1 Peter 2:2, Hebrews 5:13
  Meat is for mature Christians - Hebrews 5:14
Truth - John 17:17
Power - Romans 1:16
A Sword - Ephesians 6:17

Understanding will come if you read the Bible:
Prayerfully - 1 Corinthians 2:10
Faithfully - Ephesians 6:18
Expectantly - Psalm 37:23
  God wants you to know His will for your life - Psalm 37:23
  God wants you to know about His gifts for you - Matthew 7:11
  God wants to keep you clean - Ephesians 5:26

The Bible was written by Inspiration:
Inspired; God-breathed - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
God used human instruments - 2 Peter 1:19-20; Hebrews 1:1
  The writers did not think up things to write from their own mental reasonings, but the Holy Spirit guided them - 2 Peter 1:21
  Neither were the writers "robots" who had no control over what they were doing as they wrote
  Man, in his own reasoning, would never have set such a high moral standard - 1 Peter 1:16

You can view the Bible as 66 small books, divided into two parts instead of one large book:
The Old Testament contains 39 Books and can be divided into the Law or Books of Moses, History, Poetry, Major Prophets, and Minor Prophets
The New Testament contains 27 Books and can be divided into the Gospels, History, Paul's Letters, General Epistles and Prophecy

The Bible is:
God's revealed Word to man - Hebrews 4:12, Revelation 1:1
A guide to salvation and conduct - 1 Peter 1:23-25
The standard for all things - 2 Timothy 3:15, 1 Thessalonians 2:13
