Read the Bible!
When Jesus was just 12 years old, He travelled with His parents to the Temple to celebrate the Passover. But instead of doing things that other 12-year-olds may have done, Jesus was in the Temple with the teachers, asking them questions and teaching them! Jesus had studied the Scriptures and listened in prayer as His Father taught Him. When He read the Bible, He saw all the scriptures and promises about Himself!
Highlighted Scriptures:
Psalm 119:105: Your Word is a lamp unto my feet!

Conclusion
Because Jesus studied and read the scriptures, He grew closer to God. We can grow closer to God, too, if we read our Bibles and talk to God!
