Read the Bible In One Year
Welcome to the "Bible In A Year" reading program on
Faith in Christ Ministries of the World Bible Study Tools.
Statistics show that most people professing faith in Christ have
never completely read their Bible. Many people start reading but then
become overwhelmed by the number of chapters (1189) and verses (31,102)
they will be reading. However, it can be accomplished by reading less
than four chapters a day.
By dividing the Bible into 365 daily readings, a goal of reading the
Bible in a year can easily be accomplished.
Get What You Can!
Some folks do not read the Bible because, they say, there are so many
things in the Book that they cannot understand. It is said that these
things which cannot be understood trouble them. Of course these are
excuses.
What does one do when he sits down to a Southern-fried chicken dinner,
and finds there are bones in the chicken which he is unable to chew?
Does he excuse himself, and say, "I can't chew the bony parts of the
chicken, therefore I won't try to eat any of it?" Hardly. He merely
puts the bones to one side and enjoys the edible part of the chicken.
Why not put at least this much effort into Bible reading?
One rescued sinner said, "The fact that I am alive and on my way
somewhere really caused me anxious moments, until I found the answer in
the Bible. When I found it, it prompted me to let the shed blood of
Christ cleanse me from my sins. God saved me and gave me the assurance
of it, and I began to study the Bible, digesting the parts God's Holy
Spirit led me to understand, and setting the rest aside, until He opened
my eyes to the Truth therein. As God showed me the answers, my worship
of Him increased naturally. Oh, indispensable is the Book of books!"
