READING YOUR BIBLE
GETTING STARTED
The idea of reading your bible can be intimidating, where do I start? How do I apply it to my life? Why is it important? It begins with getting access and knowing what is the Bible? The best answer is in Timothy:
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
2 Tim 3:16-17 NLT

Read more on each step below, but beyond that, don’t hesitate to Google a book of the Bible to learn its history, study the context, read other books and talk to folks about how they learn. And as always, reach out with any questions at info@one.church.
