All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)
Reading books about swimming will increase your knowledge about swimming. But only when you jump into the pool, then you will know how to swim.
Reading books about investing will increase your knowledge about investing. But only when you put money to invest, then you will get rich.
Reading the Bible will increase your knowledge of God. But only when you do God's commandments in the Bible, then you know God.
It is good to know how to swim. It may save you from drowning.
It may even be better to know how to invest. You can become rich.
But it is best to know God. Because you will have eternal life.
And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17:3 ESV)
