Reading the Book of Mormon daily is an important part of creating daily spiritual routines. The Book of Mormon is a sacred text that contains the teachings and experiences of ancient prophets in the Americas. As “Another Testament of Jesus”, it testifies of Jesus Christ and His sacred mission to help us overcome sin and death. The Book of Mormon teaches us the way to return to our Heavenly Father. 

Prophets and apostles, throughout time, have invited us to read and study the Book of Mormon each day. President Russell M. Nelson said, “Without reservation I promise you that if you will prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, regardless of how many times you previously have read it, there will come into your hearts an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord. There will come a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to his commandments, and there will come a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God.” (Russell M. Nelson, “A Testimony of the Book of Mormon,” October 1999 General Conference)

Here are a few benefits of daily scripture study, particularly when it comes to reading and studying the Book of Mormon.

1. Reading the Book of Mormon daily helps you stay grounded in your faith. The world can be a busy and distracting place, and it can be easy to lose sight of what really matters. By taking the time each day to read from the Book of Mormon, you can be reminded of your purpose and the things that are truly important. It helps you stay focused on your relationship with Heavenly Father and to prioritize spiritual growth.

2. Another benefit of daily scripture study is that it helps you to develop a better understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon contains many teachings and doctrines that are unique to our faith, and by studying these things daily, you are able to deepen your understanding of the gospel. This knowledge then informs your decisions and actions, helping you to live a more Christ-like life.

3. Reading the Book of Mormon daily also helps you to feel closer to Heavenly Father. As you read and ponder the words of the prophets, you can feel the Holy Spirit guiding you and teaching you. This spiritual connection is essential to building faith and helps you feel God’s love and guidance in your life.

4. Daily scripture study helps you to develop a personal relationship with the Book of Mormon itself. The more you read and study its pages, the more you come to love and appreciate this sacred text. 

The importance of reading the Book of Mormon daily cannot be overstated. By making it a daily habit, we are able to stay grounded in our faith, deepen our understanding of the gospel, feel closer to God, and develop a personal relationship with this sacred text.
