Bible Reading - Introduction
If you’ve never done a daily Bible reading program, this is the year
to start. Reading your Bible daily has quite a few benefits.
•
It
familiarizes
you
with
the
order
of
the
books
of
the
Old
and
New
Testaments
-
from
Genesis
to
Malachi
in
the
Old
Testament,
and
Matthew
to
Revelation in the New Testament.
•
You
can
learn
where
some
of
the
Bible
characters
fit
into
a
timeline.
Did
Abraham
live
before
Moses,
or
after?
What
is
the
order
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
•
When
you
read
about
Bible
characters,
you
begin
to
see
how
all
people
are
similar
in
their
natures.
Seeing
their
responses
to
God
-
whether
good
and
commended,
or
bad
and
condemned
-
can
encourage
you
to
make
the
right
decisions when confronted with a temptation to sin (Hebrews 11; 12:1,2).
•
The
reader
can
get
an
overall
picture
of
the
nature
of
God.
God
does
not
change from testament to testament (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).
•
Your
reading
keeps
the
word
of
God
near
to
you
to
help
you
when
faced
with temptation (Psalm 119:11).
•
Daily
Bible
reading
gives
you
inside
knowledge.
When
you
are
familiar
with
God’s word, it is harder to be deceived by false teachers (Matthew 7:15-20).
