They received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

Every year the American Bible Society releases its State of the Bible report. The most recent study finds that overall Bible use in the U.S. has increased for the first time since 2021, rising from 38 percent to 41 percent of adults reading the Bible outside church at least three times a year—about 10 million more adults in 2025 than in 2024. Digital formats are very popular (about two-thirds of users), especially apps and websites. The U.S. stands out in comparison to other secular, Western nations for how many find the Bible personally relevant.1
But three times a year! While we praise God for the renewed interest we’re seeing in Bible reading, let’s aim for 365 days a year—daily Bible reading and study. To grow as a Christian, be diligent in your study of the Word so you can daily spread the knowledge of God to others. Search the Scriptures daily, starting today!
Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, pass it on.
