Bible Question: 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 |
Bible Answer: Yes I do. I want to congratulate you on your desire to learn the Word. To start with I would recommend getting into a group Bible study that is designed to be an overview of the Old Testament only if it involves reading the bible as part of the homework. The leadership of a good teacher and group discussion will aid in your study. If you want to start on your own I would say read the Gospel of John followed by the Gospel of Luke then read Acts. Then it is time to move to the Old Testament. Read Genesis and Exodus. Now is the hard part. Read Leviticus and Numbers. Yeah!!! Pat yourself on the back you have read a large chunk of the Bible. Now that you have all of those laws in your head read Matthew and Mark and then read Romans. Romans was a little hard to digest so give yourself a break and read Joshua and Ruth now go back and read First and Second Corinthians. Now we have a pattern to finish the book. Read one New Testament followed by two Old Testament books. If the New Testament book has a First, Second and Third read all three. If you want to take it at a more leisurely pace I would recommend Our Daily Bread http://www.rbc.org/index.aspx. It has served me well over the years and continues to do so. In it is a daily devotional and a bible reading plan. Or you can jump in the deep end and start teaching a Sunday school class to the fifth graders in your church. Most Church curriculums are designed to walk the novice through how to study prepare and teach a lesson. This was the avenue I learned the most from. I have used all three of these methods and each teaches you something new. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 NASB We are to be Disciples. Your desire to read the Word of God is good step in the right direction. A Fellow Disciple Albert |
