Because the New Testament is God's solution to our problems. Just read it all and see if everyone followed the New Testament, how the world would look. Barely anyone will, the path is narrow.

The Gospel... It is "God's power to save."
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the good news. It is God’s power. And it will save everyone who believes. It is meant first for the Jews. It is meant also for those who aren’t Jews.
17 The good news shows how God makes people right with himself. From beginning to end, becoming right with God depends on a person’s faith. It is written, “Those who are right with God will live by faith.”
2Timothy 2:14 Remind everyone of these things, and command them in God’s name to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them. 15 Work hard so God can approve you. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless, foolish discussions that lead to more and more ungodliness. 17 This kind of talk spreads like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples of this. 18 They have left the path of truth, preaching the lie that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; and they have undermined the faith of some.

In order to try to understand the meaning of it. Just the same as studying any other book.

Well, the bible is so full of wisdom that you could spend quite a long time on one book alone...
Its' like outer space...it seems to keep expanding, and you do too as you study it.

Because it provides the best system of morality the world has ever, or will ever know. There is no system more redeeming, forgiving, or loving than that of Christ.

Because it is a fascinating and important piece of literature that many people consider of divine origin.

Because it supposedly contains the truth of Christ; who and what he was, what he did, and it presumably contains the lessons that Christians are supposed to live by.
