How can reading the scriptures help me?
As you study the scriptures, you will grow closer to God and be better able to live righteously. Scripture study will bring you more joy, hope, and understanding of God’s plan and your place in it. Jesus Christ invites you to “feast” upon His words (The Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 32:3). This means more than casually reading the scriptures. It means to study them, ponder them, compare verses, learn passages by heart, treasure them, delight in them. As you feast upon the scriptures, asking God for understanding, the Holy Ghost will let you know they are true. You will grow closer to God. Your faith in and love for Jesus Christ will increase. So will your desire to do good and to be like Him.
