    What is most important thing a Christian can do?

    The most important thing a Christian can do is to know God’s Word. Many Christians think it is enough to have a general idea of what is in the Bible. However, the following verse declares we need to know more of it: “Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths” (Psalm 25:4). What paths?

    The Bible is full of people who have chosen to know God’s ways, and follow in His paths. There are also many people recorded that chose to not follow in God’s paths. Each person is to read the Bible to find out what happens in a person’s life when they follow God’s paths, and what happens when people choose to make their own way in the world, disregarding God’s paths. “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come” (1 Corinthians 10:11). The Bible was written for us to not only come to know Christ as our Saviour, but to follow the examples that are recorded within so we know how to live a life pleasing to God. Knowing what is in the Bible can keep us from much heartache in our lives. It can also bring us much comfort and encouragement. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).

    Some people find the Bible too difficult to read. Others may think it takes too much time to read. There are many excuses as to why people do not know or understand the Bible. But what does the Bible tell us? “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter” (Proverbs 25:2). Understanding the Bible can really be very simple. The Biblical Path of Life (http://biblicalpath.com/) is a simple Bible study that basically just organizes a plan on how to know what the Bible is all about. It encourages each person to take the time to read their own Bible in an orderly fashion, so there will be no question as to what God expects from people. Reading, and knowing what the Bible has to say, is the only way anyone can have God show him or her His way. It is then one can know the path God has for their life.

    How to be Saved

  • Why Understand the Bible?

    Growing up in a Christian home is no guarantee that one understands the Bible or how to live a Christian life. Being saved as a young child, I learned many Bible stories but it wasn’t until later that I began to understand how all of these stories fit together.  My parents had a book called The New “Panorama” Bible Study Course by Alfred Thompson Eade (it can be found online at www.oakknollpublishing.com). It is a book of pictures revealing a timeline throughout Bible history.  It helped me begin to see that Jesus was planned from the beginning of time to redeem mankind because of their sin. It also helped me begin to understand how all of those “stories” were connected together.

    According to most statistics, young people are growing up and leaving the church and faith in God by the droves.  The main reason can be found in the lack of knowledge and understanding of what one believes about God and why. There is a mighty gulf between the level of spiritual training in children, youth and even adults and the level one needs to live in today’s world.  Many people don’t really understand that the Bible is not just a compilation of popular Bible stories or favorite Bible passages.  Children , as well as adults, need to learn the importance of how all of the events in the Bible connect with a purpose – to reveal Jesus. And what better way to learn than to have a study simple enough for children to understand yet comprehensive enough to challenge adults. The Biblical Path of Life is meant to be that kind of a study. One thing our church did to help people as we studied the Bible using The Biblical Path of Life was to post the pictures from The New Panorama Bible Study Course Book 1 on our walls as a timeline to refer to as we traveled through the pages of Bible history.

    All, especially children, are capable of learning so much more. The Biblical Path of Life is a study meant to simplify the understanding making the Bible relevant to a Christian’s life – young or old.
