READING THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.

The Bible contains 66 “Books”. Each book is divided into chapters, these are divided into verses and numbered. For example, Isa. 53: 2-4 means that the author is Isaiah (look in the Bible index to find), 53 is the chapter, and 2-4 means verses 2 through 4. These are all numbered and always appear in the same sequence in every Bible.

Start with:

 1 JOHN.....This is the First Letter, NOT the Gospel of John, containing about 3 pages. Read twice daily; according to the commandment, a few verses or a page, until you finish the whole letter 7 times. Read consecutively, not jumping around. Then start the whole

GOSPEL OF JOHN. Read once, maintaining the above reading pattern. Then all the 

LETTERS OF PAUL: In every Bible they are sequentially arranged from Corinthians to Philemon. See your table of contents. Read once through (no skipping), then a second time. This is the school of the Holy Spirit. Then start the entire

NEW TESTAMENT. Read twice, then start the 

OLD TESTAMENT, but keep alternating continuously with the New Testament.

The Bible is a love story; written with blood, upon a wooden cross; the story of God’s love for you.

 Men are not lost because they are sinners; they are lost because they have rejected Jesus who died for them. Even if you go into a lost eternity and have not accepted Christ, He died for you, and you simply made His sacrifice for you of no avail. You have trodden underfoot the blood of your Savior.

 Any CONCEIVABLE sacrifice in this world is worthwhile just to find Jesus and to belong to Him! If you want Him, pray now with me, "DEAREST LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE THE RULER OF MY LIFE. HELP ME TO LOVE YOU MORE EVERY DAY; I PLEASD TO OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY, EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE."

Avoid mutilated Bibles, like a deadly plague. See   http://articles.faithwriters.com/reprint-article-details.php?article=40874
