BECAUSE IT IS THE WORD OF GOD!

The Bible comes from the mind of one Author—God. And with his awesome power, it was a simple thing for him to make certain that the integrity of what was written was preserved down to our day. Of this a leading authority on Bible manuscripts, Sir Frederic Kenyon, in 1940, said: "The last foundation for any doubt that the Scriptures have come down to us substantially as they were written has now been removed."
Humans have the ability to send radio and television signals to the earth from thousands of miles in space, even from the moon. Space probes have sent back to the earth physical information and pictures from planets that are hundreds of millions of miles away. Surely man's Creator, the Creator of radio waves, could do at least as much. Really, it was a simple thing for him to use his almighty power to transmit words and pictures to the minds of those he chose to record the Bible.
Moreover, there are many things about the earth and life on it that give evidence of God's interest in mankind. Therefore, it is understandable that he would want to help humans find out who he is and what his purpose is for them by expressing these things clearly in a book—a permanent document.
Consider, too, the superiority of a book authored by God, compared with information handed down by humans only by word of mouth. Word of mouth would not be reliable, as people would paraphrase the message, and over a period of time, its meaning would be distorted. They would relay the information by the spoken word according to their own viewpoint. But a God-inspired, permanent written record is much less likely to contain errors. Also, a book can be reproduced and translated so that people reading various languages can benefit from it. So is it not reasonable that our Creator used such a means to provide information? Indeed, it is more than reasonable, since the Creator says that this is what he did.

Because it shows us how God thinks. How he reacts to certain things, and it gives us hope. That's why I only recommend churches that preach from the Bible. The Bible is the guide for all Christians to get from it what they can know about God. If a Christian does not know the Bible as well as possible, he is ready to be torn up by those who are trying to pull them away from God. Get you power from God, and you will be solidly built upon tock instead of sand.

Because of the positive effects it has on a person's life. I can personally say that learning the truth about Bible teachings has had such an effect on me that I can't say where I would be without Jehovah God in my life.

Because it is a personal letter of encouragement and instruction from a personal God, for individual and collective persons.
The Bible is an expression of God's love. He does not leave us "clueless." He provides us with his Word so that we can "benefit ourselves." (Isaiah 48:17)

Do you talk to your father when you were a child?
Most of us know or knew of our fathers. Sometimes he would leave note behind giving my brothers and sisters and I instructions on what he expected us to do.
Jehovah is not much different than our fathers, biological or step.
Jehovah tells us why were are living like this, how it happened and what his plans are to correct it and how we can save our own lives and those of our families, friends, neighbors and strangers.
Who else has such knowledge and who else is willing to share it?
There is no one else other than Jehovah and we should be grateful and read his word daily.
