BIBLE READING PLANNER

STEP 6: Part 4

Step Six takes you through the rest of the year . . . 26 weeks, from week 27 to week 52 God willing (and we should always think in those terms - see James 4:15) you will be able to build on the foundations already laid in the previous weeks readings and to see how all parts of God's word fit into a pattern.

In this section in the Old Testament you will read some Chapters from the prophetic books of Isaiah and Jeremiah. God sent His prophets to Israel and Judah to try to turn them from false religion back to Himself. But we read 'they mocked the messengers of God . . . until there was no remedy' (2 Chronicles 36:16). There are many valuable spiritual lessons we can learn from these books.

In the New Testament you will read through some chapters from Paul's letter to the Hebrews and from the epistle of James. In Hebrews we see Jesus as the central pivot of the purpose of God and in James we learn that faith in the Gospel message is the foundation of our relationship with God (Hebrews 11:6). But also that faith must be a living and active faith, put into daily practice in our lives.
