The Read and Study the Bible Every Single Day, Without Fail Challenge for 2026:

The Bible is the source of the Gospel Truth and proclaims one great theme—redemption through Jesus Christ. Redemption restores the broken relationship with God caused by sin. It also points to the one true and only living Creator God and offers all people one plan of salvation—only by God’s grace, through genuine repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

It is the inerrant, inspired, and authoritative Word of God, presenting powerful proof that Christianity is the one true religion, that the triune God is the only God of the universe, and that God Himself—through His Son Jesus Christ—died to pay the penalty for your sins so you wouldn’t have to. He was raised from the dead in a victory over sin, death, Satan and all the powers of darkness and to grant eternal life to all who put their faith and trust in Him.

Not reading the Bible doesn’t automatically mean someone isn’t saved.
But persistent indifference to God’s Word is a serious spiritual warning sign.

Desire may be weak. Discipline may be lacking. Excuses may be plentiful.
But hunger for God’s truth—even when inconsistent—is a mark of spiritual life.

Let’s do it!


Make Time to Read and Study God’s Word Every Single Day:

You have 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds every day—just like everyone else. Make reading the Bible a priority every single day… just like those other things you want to do and will do without fail every single day.

Commit to reading one chapter a day…. every day. Read a chapter a day in a specific book, for instance in the gospel of John (NT), until you finish it and then move on to another another book. Someone might ask: “Do you read the Bible?” Your answer: “Every single day.” Most can’t say that. And it’s not just reading through the Bible in a year or any other timeframe, but reading and studying the Bible every single day— without fail and without excuse.

Jesus clarifies what “truth” is: Truth is… God’s Word. It is the revelation that the Son gave regarding all that the Father commanded Him to communicate… which is now all contained in the scriptures left by the apostles. “Sanctify them (set them apart) by Your truth. Your word is truth.” – John 17:17
