\u201cThou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is<\/em> fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are<\/em> pleasures for evermore.<\/strong>\u201d Psalm 16:11 <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you read the Bible?  Do you understand what you read when you do\ntake time to read it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible is the Word of God. It has been preserved for us to\nread, but very few people read and understand what the Bible has to say to us\ntoday. According to most statistics,\nyoung people are growing up and leaving the church and faith in God by the\ndroves. The main reason can be found in the lack of knowledge and understanding\nof what one believes about God and why. Not many people take time to gain the\ninformation only found in the Bible that one needs to live in today’s world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in a Christian home is no guarantee that one\nunderstands the Bible, or knows how to live a Christian life. Being saved as a\nyoung child, I learned many Bible \u201cstories,\u201d but it wasn\u2019t until later that I\nbegan to understand how all of these stories fit together. When I saw a timeline\nthroughout Bible history, it helped me begin to understand how all of those\n\u201cstories\u201d were connected together. I also began to understand that Jesus was\nplanned from the beginning of time to redeem mankind because of sin. I wanted\nto know and understand more of the Bible, so I began to study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing about studying the Bible should be\nto learn the basics of the Bible and how it should be applied to Christians\u2019\nlives. A good Bible study needs to be more than a compilation of \u201cstories\u201d we\nhave always heard. The word \u201cstory\u201d even brings to the hearers\u2019 mind that they\nare make-believe. Many people do not even understand that the Bible is not just\na compilation of popular Bible \u201cstories\u201d or favorite Bible passages. The Bible\nis not<\/em><\/strong> full of \u201cstories\u201d but actual events in real people\u2019s\nlives. Children, as\nwell as adults, need to understand that each of these events all fit\ntogether as part of a bigger picture \u2013 much like pieces of a puzzle. Not only do these events interlock, but\nthey also have a purpose: to reveal Jesus and why He came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very important to read God\u2019s Word and be in a good Bible study where you can learn more about Jesus. One important goal each Christian should have is to know and understand more about the Bible. The more you learn about the Bible, the more you begin to understand that it is so much more than just a collection of events in people\u2019s lives that lived long ago. In the Bible Study called The Biblical Path of Life<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, you can search and find out why the people who lived in the Old Testament times wanted to obey God. You can learn how they knew He would one day send Jesus. It is there one can see what happened to His people when they obeyed God\u2019s Word, and even what happened when they forgot God\u2019s Word. As you read the New Testament, you begin to recognize when people began to understand that Jesus was the One who was to come (the one promised in the Old Testament). These events will be an encouragement to you, for it is then that one can understand God is with those who love Him, seek to please Him, and that God takes care of His people. \u201cThou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is<\/em> fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are<\/em> pleasures for evermore<\/strong>\u201d (Psalm 16:11). It is then that one begins to understand how to live a Christian life pleasing to God in the world today. The Bible means nothing to us if we do not apply the principles within to our lives to become more like Christ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All people, especially children, are capable of learning so much more. The Biblical Path of Life<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is one such study meant to simplify the understanding of the Bible making it relevant to a Christian’s life \u2014 young or old \u2014 by comparing Scripture to Scripture. Christians should understand just how important their Bible is and become familiar with it. Everyone should understand the importance of reading God\u2019s Word! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even beginning readers should be encouraged to read their\nBible. At first, even the youngest readers will be hesitant to read.\nNevertheless, with a little encouragement and help, they can become excited\nabout reading their Bible. No one is too young (or old) to begin to love the\nWord of God or to learn the principles found within God\u2019s Word! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to encourage people to know more of the Bible, I have posted blogs to motivate people to dig a little deeper into their Bible\u2019s and study. Feedspot<\/a> has recognized www.biblicalpath.com<\/a> as one of the top 100 Bible Study Blogs. My hope is that by being listed here, many more people will be encouraged to read and understand what God\u2019s Word has for people who are searching in these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you take time to read your Bible, discovering God\u2019s plan in these days?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
