How to Read the Bible.


Frequently, daily.

Joshua 1:8  

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Not for controversy, but for profit.

Proverbs 3:2  

For they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Meditatively.

Psalms 1:3  

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

In love.

Psalms 119:97  

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long

Searchingly.

John 5:39

You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,

In Faith.

Romans 10:17  

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Hebrews 11:6  

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

With consciousness of need.

Matthew 5:6  

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

John 7:37-39  

37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

2 Peter 3:18  

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
