Bible Illiteracy: A Call to Christians

1-minute read Tuesday, 4/8/25

“I delight in your decrees;
    I will not neglect your word.” Psalm 119:16 NIV

“For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we, through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope.”  Romans15:4 KJV

Many Christian leaders have said that Bible illiteracy is the plague of our times, and I agree.

“Of over 2 billion Christians in the world, less than 30% will ever read through the entire Bible. The fact is over 82% of Christian Americans only read their Bibles on Sundays while in church. One of the main reasons why American Christians don’t read their bibles is, only 22% of them believe the Bible is fully inspired by God Himself.” (Ponce Foundation)

My opinion: Ignorance is not bliss. We don’t have to live in the dark. God has given us a great treasure, His Word.

“The law from your mouth is more precious to me
    than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.” Psalm 119:72 NIV

“If your law had not been my delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.” Psalm119:92 NIV

“Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105

Read all of Psalm 119 HERE.

In His Love, Cindy
