The ultimate objective of reading or listening to the Bible is often considered to be personal transformation. While acquiring knowledge, clarity in theological truths, and enhancing discernment are important aspects of engaging with the Scriptures, the overarching goal is to allow the teachings and messages of the Bible to transform one's heart and life. This transformation leads to a deeper relationship with God, a change in behavior and attitudes, and a life that reflects the principles taught in the Bible. Worship can also be an essential aspect of this engagement, as it expresses the response of gratitude and reverence that often accompanies personal transformation.
