Here are some tips on reading your Bible. Begin reading the Gospel of John. Read it through completely, three times. Never read less than five chapters per day. More would be preferable.
Next go to the book of Matthew at the beginning of the New Testament. Begin reading from there, all the way through to the end of the New Testament, including the Revelation. Read the New Testament through completely, three times.
Once you have read the New Testament through three times, then go to the beginning of the Bible and read the entire Bible through completely, from Genesis 1:1 to the end of the Revelation. Remember, read at least five chapters or more per day, which will be at least thirty-five chapters per week. More than this is better.
It is extremely important for a Christian to have a good overall understanding of the Bible. Many people wrongly study the Bible, a little here and a little there. As a result, they never really have a clear, overall view of the entire Bible. They lack a good, biblical understanding of God, of God’s judgments, and of how Satan deceives. This gives a place for the devil to deceive them. It is highly recommended that a person read the entire Bible through at least once every year.
If the previous program is followed, these are the results at the rate of five chapters per day:
The Gospel of John read 3 times = 1.8 weeks
The New Testament read 3 times = 22.3 weeks
The entire Bible read 1 time = 34 weeks
Thus, in just 58 weeks a person will have read the Gospel of John a total of 7 times, the New Testament a total of 4 times, and the entire Bible 1 time.
