A Starter Schedule For A New Believer
* The Thought Is Continued In The Next Passage.
Check off your daily reading as you read the passage.
Bible Reading
These searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so [ACT 17:11].
 1. Begin reading with the Gospel of John.
 Then read:
a. Genesis 1:1 to 25:11;
b. Exodus 1:1 to 21:14 and
c. Leviticus 1:1 to 6:7.
These passages will give you very necessary background
information to understand many things referred to in the
rest of the Bible.
Then read the book of Romans.
Many people stumble at the plain teaching of this
book. Keep in mind that Paul was writing to ordinary
people fully expecting them to understand his letter. The
objections raised against the book are really humanistic
objections against the teachings of the Bible which has
God as its author.
Then read the First Epistle of John. It has only five
short chapters rich in instruction and encouragement for
the children of God-the saints.
Follow this by reading straight through the New
Testament, using the schedule found linked to this home
page.
Finally read the whole Bible from the very beginning to
the end, using one of schedules found linked to this home
page.
Read the Bible as normal historical literature. Keep in mind
that a book is consistent within itself. For example, John 3
about the new birth should be understood in the light of chapter
1:12, 13.
Read it as a literal record of history and instruction, unless
you come to clear figures of speech, then understand them as
such. For example:
The Good Shepherd
I am the Door
This is My Body
The Lamb of God
The Bible is the result of the extraordinary, supernatural
influence exerted by the Holy Spirit on the various writers, by
which their words were rendered also the words of God, and
therefore, absolutely infallible in the original autographs.
We believe that God, in His providence, has preserved the
Bible so that the copies and translations that we have today are,
for all practical purposes, the same as the original writings.
It is true that many poor copies and translations of the Bible
have been produced. Beware of these and especially avoid any
paraphrase of the Bible.
Any man's paraphrase of the Bible, system of 'theology,' or
sermons and commentaries (including the writings of the Apostolic
Fathers, Church Fathers, Reformers, or your favorite preacher)
are not the Word of God. Read any of these under the critical
light of the Bible itself.
