Why does reading the Bible consistently matter?

Reading Scripture isn’t just something to check off of your list—God’s Word will actually transform your life.

Research shows that destructive habits decrease and positive habits increase when people are in God’s Word at least four days a week.

Someone who reads the Bible four or more times a week is:

– 59% less likely to view pornography
– 74% less likely to gamble
– 407% more likely to memorize Scripture
– 228% more likely to share their faith with others
– 231% more likely to disciple others

These same people are 30% less likely to struggle with loneliness.

The Bible App can help you build a consistent Bible habit, and you can keep track of your progress with Daily Streaks.

Commit to spending at least 4 days each week in God’s Word and watch how it changes your life.
