Bible Question: When studying the bible, should you read from the beginning. Can I read some of the beginning and jump to different books in the bible? Please help. |
Bible Answer: Many will tell you to read the New Testament and then read the rest of the Bible. Many also recommend the Book of John. I think the Book of Mark is a good place to start. I would read it through and then I would start reading in first book Genesis and read on through. Do not get hung up on trying to keep track of all the names in the various lineages and don't get bogged down in too much detail this first trip through the Bible try to do more of an over view. As you read remember the Old Testament is Jesus promised and the New Testament is Jesus fulfilled. Try to keep that in mind and see how everything in the Old Testament was brought to life by Christ in the New Testament. Most of all read the Bible not to finish it but to fall in love with it. We never finish reading the Bible. If you find an exciting story stop reread it, think about it, and if you have someone ask questions about it. If not come on back here and we will see if we can help you. |
