The Bible was not written simply to give you academic information about God. It was written that we may experience God today in a personal way. The Bible is our guide to experience God. The Bible is like a menu in a restaurant. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good (Psalm 34:8). To taste and see is to personally experience God. We experience God in our hearts through believing in Jesus our Lord (Romans 10:9).
Experience God through prayer. The Bible teaches you how to pray. It's important to understand that prayer is a personal conversation with God. It's more than speaking words from memory. Opening our hearts to God is true prayer. Prayer is not a monologue. It's a dialogue with God. We talk to God and listen with our hearts (Hebrews 3:15).
Experience God through worship. Understand that worship is our personal response to God's love and goodness. We worship God daily with our songs of praise and prayers of thanksgiving. We surrender our body, will, and emotions to God through worship.
Experience God with others in public worship, family prayer, and small groups. Hearing testimonies of how others come to experience God is helpful. We are encouraged in our faith. We trust God to work in our lives, that we may know Him daily. We know that God is working in us, for our good and His glory, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
