Why is it important to study the scriptures?

 From the Come Follow Me lesson outline:

The scriptures contain the word of God. Latter-day prophets counsel us to study the scriptures every day, both individually and with our families. Studying the scriptures can help us know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, give us power to resist temptation, and strengthen us in our challenges.

 

Scripture references include:

Joshua 1:8

Psalms 119:105

2 Timothy 3:16–17

1 Nephi 15:24

2 Nephi 32:3

Alma 17:2–3

Helaman 3:29–30
