What happens when you read the bible? A scientific study

A scientific study conducted by the Centre for Bible Engagement in 2009 demonstrated the difference between people who read the Bible four days a week and those who don’t read the bible.

According to 2 Timothy 3:16, the Bible is the inspired Word of God “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”With this statement in mind, the CBE researched the effects and benefits of reading the bible.

What was found:On the first and second days, there was little noticeable difference; however, by the third day, a change began to emerge. The following statistics illustrate the effects observed when individuals engaged with the Bible four times a week or more:

Loneliness went down 30%. Bitterness went down 43%. Anger went down 32%. Alcoholism went down 42%.
