READING THE BIBLE
Salvation depends upon correctly
understanding and learning the wonderful message of salvation contained in
God's word. For as we read:
"He that believes
and is baptised shall be saved"
- Mark 16v16
The only way to learn God's word is to
know the scriptures. God's word provides the spiritual food we need. If we
eat only a small amount of our daily food we soon become malnourished, so
also with the word of God. If we read little we grow little. To help Bible
students to grow in the knowledge of God's word the following tables are
offered as a guide to methodical reading of the Bible. An indiscriminate
reading of the scriptures is unprofitable, and can soon cease to be
interesting, and reading solidly from Genesis to Revelation can be very
hard to do. The method of reading a little each day from various parts of
the Bible has been found by many to be practical, attractive, and
enlightening. These tables therefore are arranged to provide three daily
reading and should take around 15-20 minutes each day. A small amount of
time to spend reading, but offering a great amount of reward spiritually.
By following these tables the Old Testament will be read once in a year
and the Old Testament twice.
May the Lord bless all who study his
word sincerely.
