A Bible Study Plan That Works...


Why wait to start studying the Bible?  

There is no better time than the present.  Reading and knowing the word of God will equip you for life's spiritual battles and help you to endure, overcome, be a strong witness, and worker for the Lord.   It will encourage your heart, strengthen your understanding as well as your relationship with God through prayer. 

 

When is the best time to study?

You will need to set aside a time each day that is dedicated to prayer and reading the word of God.  You will need to include prayer before begining to ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and understanding as you read.   Set your dedicated time and then stick to it as much as possible.  Starting your day off with prayer, praise, worship, and reading the word of God is a good way to start any day, but use any time that works on a consistent basis for you. 


Why read the Bible?

Read the Bible for the sake of learning God's word, being enriched by it.  As the word of God says in 2 Timothy 2:15 that we should "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."


What type of Bible is best to use?

You may find that having more than one Bible is helpful in your studies for better understanding of God's word.  For some people the King's James Version of the Bible is harder to understand, but I recommend reading this version along side of something like the New International Version or the New Living Translation bible.  Although, there are other versions available, you may find that the translations they contain are a bit too paraphrased and you want to keep as much of the original meaning as possible.

Example:

Matthew (28:20) when Jesus was departing this world and the disciples for heaven and giving them instructions on what should be done.  

Read how these different translations differ in only one verse.

King James Version, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The Common English Bible, “teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.”

The New Century Version, “Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you, and I will be with you always, even until the end of this age.”

The Message, “Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

The New International Version (NIV) is the best rendering with the original meaning, “and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
