Reading God's Bible is not the same as studying El's Word. Adonai instructs how to do the latter and why...even whom to trust.

Reading Yeshua's Bible from beginning to end is a good thing but not the same as studying it. In reading, much can be overlooked; thus, Jehovah instructed how to study His Word and why we should, even pointing to whom we can trust as guides to understanding. In Elohim's own words:

HOW: with prayer and by topic! Open my eyes, so I may learn the wonders of God's law. (Psalm 119:18) Precept law must be upon precept; line upon line; here a little, there a little. (Isa. 28:9-10) Search the scriptures; (John 5:39) Study to show yourself approved by rightly dividing the truth. (II Tim. 2:15)

WHY: so…we don't sin against Almighty God. (Psalm 119:11) Righteous people study for answers: (Prov. 15:28) Continue in God's Word in order to be Christ's disciples; and to know the truth and be set free. (John 8:31-32) Study to show self approved by God. (II Tim. 2:15) Study to understand doctrine, for reprimand, correction, for instruction in righteousness: so the person may be[come] perfect, completely strengthened to do all godly works like the Father is perfect. (II Tim. 3:16-17) And study to be quiet. (I Thess. 4:11) The word of God is powerful and He knows the true thoughts and intents of each person's heart. (Heb. 4:12)—Why? Jesus said, "Be perfect as the Lord is perfect. Be Holy as the Lord is Holy." {This is achieved by the How.}

TRUST: Christ, the Holy Ghost and any one who studies, searches, rightly divides and…They speak only God's Truths (II Sam. 23: 2), teach God's law and Christ's testimony: speaking only His words because there is light in them. (Isa. 8:20) Trust those spiritually mature. (Isa. 28:9) Trust anyone who obeys all and teaches all of God's commandments. (Matt. 5:19) Trust any one obedient in all things, for they know the doctrine, that it is God's. (John 7:17) Trust any of His witnesses of these things; and the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to all those who obey God. They always teach and preach Jesus Christ. (Acts 5:32,42) And they teach only God's doctrine, godly edifying by faith, (I Tim. 1:3,4) teaching the words of Christ from the Old and New Testaments, and the doctrine of God teaching godly behavior. (I Tim. 6:3)
