Apostle Paul says everything written in the past is to teach us, through endurance and encouragement that it provides.

How to leave our lives to give worship and respect to God

If we read three chapters a day of the Bible we can finish it in a year

 

1. The Old testament has 39 books, written in Hebrew language

2.  The New testament has 27 books, written in Greek language

 

A) Reading by books- 

Read matthew, mark, luke, john.

B) Reading by keywords

Example mercy, humbleness, faith.

 

We know more of Jesus by reading the first four books of the New testament.

The Bible relates bad deeds to teach us about choices. To do good versus too bad and its effects. Peace versus happiness and the difference it has on us.

C) follow by reading about the lives of people in the Bible.

Example david, paul, Mary Magdalene

 

Method for reading

1) be observant

Not just listening to messages but study on our own and learn through our own observances

Choose different verses / history / events/story

Ask the question why? Where? What do we get from it?

 

2) give it a meaning

Do not use your own thinking. We need to use the Christian beliefs.

What is the meaning in God`s way?

Learn how to receive blessings and also to offer blessings to others.

 

3) how to apply to our lives?

Interpretations, applications.
