To me, the Bible is kinda like someone's photo album, scrapbook, and yearbook.
You can browse through the Obama's baby photo album with interest. You might say, "oh, what a cute little bubby boy was he!" but not like it would be of any personal relevance to you.
But it's entirely different when the photo album, scrapbook or yearbook holds the stories of someone you love and actually have a relationship with.
You then no longer just browse with lukewarm interest, but instead peruse it carefully, as the stories would help you know and understand the one you love just that bit more.
You could still have a relationship with the one you love, even without looking into the photo album.
But curiousity piques- the more you get to know the one you love in the present, the more you desire to know about his stories.
