Why Should I Learn to Read the Greek New Testament?
There are numerous benefits of actually reading the Greek New Testament, as opposed to relying on translations and reader commentaries, such as…
Clarity
If you want clarity on the word of God, you'll get so much more from reading in Greek than you would from a translation.
To illustrate the difference, if reading your bible in English is like watching a 1950's black and white TV, then reading in Greek is like watching a modern, 4k HDTV in full colour.
Themes in scripture are clearer when you can see the commonalities between lexical ideas and repeated use of constructions. You'll see ideas come to life and passages connect like you never have before.
Confidence
Those who don't know Greek are dependent upon those who can read it. That means that pastors and teachers must choose between the different scholarly opinions and interpretations without firsthand knowledge.
The ability to exegete the Greek certainly helps, but nothing compares to the confidence that comes from a rich working knowledge of the original language. Confidence comes not merely from knowing some Greek words, but being able to read the word of God in Greek.
Efficiency
It takes time to do exegesis properly. While this will always be necessary, you can speed up the process by having a lower dependence on tools. A fluency in the language helps you quickly see where to focus your attention, and which grammatical constructions are significant.
The clarity and confidence you will gain from reading will help you to come to better conclusions in less time. This frees you to spend more time applying your understanding of scripture to the lives of those you minister to.
Vitality
Reading in Greek will deepen your understanding of Christ and his Word like never before. The more you understand who the Lord is through his word, the stronger your faith and sense of purpose will be.
You don't have to just read Greek for the sake of study, you can read the Greek New Testament in your own devotional times. This will enrich your walk with the Lord and help you grow spiritually, which will overflow into your life and the lives of those around you.
Reading Greek in your devotional time will enrich not only your life, but also your ministry and service.
Faithfulness
As you read your Greek New Testament, you'll develop a confidence in your understanding of what God says in His word. This deeper understanding is what gives you a strong conviction of the truthfulness of scripture.
This results in an increased desire to please the Lord in every aspect of your life. As your desire to please the Lord grows, your faithfulness to Him and His Word will increase. The best way become and remain a faithful shepherd is to grow in your own conviction of the importance of God's holiness and His calling on your life.
