Bible Question: i am starting to read the bible, do i start from the beginning or specific books. then what? thank you so much |
Bible Answer: I recommend Mark because Mark was recommended to me by bro. Billy Graham. His rational if I remember right was: that the book of Mark is a fast moving account of much of the work of Christ that demonstrates His diety, power and glory. It is also the shortest of the gospels and once completed it might give you a sense of accomplishment and encourage you to continue. I would include a daily reading from the books of Proverbs and Psalms as well. These books, among other things, impart both inspiration and wisdom. After this you might continue reading daily from both the Old and the New Testaments. Start at the beginning, read the story of creation and watch the plan of salvation unfold on the pages of both testaments. You will likely get very different advise from others. I'm not sure there is necessarily a wrong way and a particularly right way. I would make the argument though that starting with one of the Gospels should be a priority in that it is in them that the fullness of the Glory of Christ is revealed. Hope this helps, God bless your journey. PS, are you saved? |
