Hello, I've been a christian since i was born. I've never been into reading the bible. Right now I'm trying to get into the bible. Do you have any suggestions on how to start reading it. Such as any devotionals you recommend. Thanks | ||||||
2 | Do you know a way to get into the Bible? | Heb 8:10 | stoneslinger | 206035 | ||
hey california! i can't think of any devotionals that are great to read with the bible but if you are just now trying to get into the bible i suggest that you start in the new testament (with the gospels) and maybe even read them twice. Then finish the new testament and then after you feel more confident there, then move on to the old testament. both are loaded with great information but i have once heard it said that the old testament is the word concealed and the new testament is the word revealed. i think it also offers a simpler path to the heart of God. my story does sound very similar to yours. It helped me greatly to try and consciously realize every time God allowed a blessing (large or small) to come my way. It helped me to realize how intimately involved He is in my life. It also helps to magnify God and i believe that in Psalms it states the the Lord is enthrone upon our praises. (psalm 22:3 "but You, o Lord, are enthroned upon the praises of Israel") After that it became my hearts desire to know the God that sustains me! good luck after proof reading i do remember that Henrietta C. Mears did write a book breaking down the bible and it also laid out a plan to follow. I believe it is called What the Bible is All About |

Californiasurfin – You question is the same as so many others. I will attempt to answer you question in two parts. First of all, the Bible is The Written Word, with prayer the Bible is our best connection to God. But the Bible is a book, as just as with any book you needs to find ways to engage in the stories. Try listening to the Bible on tapes, reading out load, finding friends to study with. If you are anything like me, my mind races at a hundred miles an hour, so I have to do tricks to concentrate on the Word. Secondly, the reading the Bible is work. So just like marriage or a job, you need to do some work in order to keep the relationship strong or get a paycheck. Try to keep a daily routine and separate yourself from too many distractions when engaged in your time with God. Atomos |
