A Year-Long Bible Journey
Reading the Bible is an important practice of the Christian life. The Bible is the life-line of the believer. It gives us guidance, light, comfort, encouragement, correction, strength, and connection to God. However, where does one begin? It is helpful for the new believer, or even for a believer who has read the Bible on many occasions, to follow a structured format.
By reading the Bible following different structures, God will show himself and his will to the believer in new and fresh ways. The following pages have three different arrangements that will help you read the Bible in one year. These arrangements will guide you during fifty-two weeks through daily, manageable sections. The three plans below provide ways to read the Bible that will open up new windows into Gods Word. Each plan includes check boxes so you can keep track of your progress.
Plan Two |
One portion from each of seven key sections | Divides the Scriptures in seven traditional sections: Epistles, Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, Gospels. |
Plan Three |
Beginning to End | Guides one to read the whole Bible in order through the year. |

Reasons to Study with Your Mind and Heart
To know God God created the heaven and the earth and everyone in it (Genesis 1-3).
To enjoy and love God Meditate on Gods character, principles, and promises. Rejoice in his love, care, and forgiveness (Psalm 119:12-18, 160-162; 1 Timothy 6:17) To know Gods Word The Scriptures were inspired by God. They teach us the truth and show us what is wrong in our lives. They straighten us out (2 Timothy 3:16). To understand the Word Jesus is called the Word because he is the ultimate communication from God. He existed from the beginning with God, he is God, and he created everything.
He said that those who have seen him have seen the Father (John 1:1-3; 10:30; 12:44, 45; 14:7-9). To learn direction in life The Bible shows us what to do (Ps. 119:11). To find comfort and hope The Scriptures give us encouragement (Romans 15:4). To let God expose our innermost thoughts and desires His Word helps us see ourselves as we really are and convicts us of sin so that we repent and change (Hebrews 4:12-16). To become pure and holy Jesus prayed this for all believers that they would be set apart for God and his holy purposes (John 17:17-23).
To obey the Great Commandment The more we know God, the more we can love him. The Great Commandment is to love God with all of our being and our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:29-31). And Jesus gave us a new commandment to love one another (John 13:34-35).
