Why: To know Gods Salvation Plan

To understand the Scripture, we need the help of
The Author of the Scripture, the Holy Spirit The sacred Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church

CCC 95 in the supremely wise arrangement of God, sacred Tradition, sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls
