Read Through the Bible in a Year

Day 3
Did you know that the Bible is a collection of 66 books? In fact, the Bible means ‘book.’ It is essentially God’s book for its focus is essentially about how God has revealed Himself to His world. While Christians don’t believe its content was given exactly verbatim, we do believe Scripture to be inspired and authoritative for our lives. There is definitely a human element in Scripture as people continue to be surprised at how ‘real’ the Bible is in the stories of violence, rape, adultery, betrayal, and death. Yet we are very often overwhelmed at how divine it is in revealing God’s self-sacrificial, committed, and compassionate love for the world.


So why do we read the Bible? Not for trivia, but to listen for the still small voice of the Holy Spirit to help us live our lives faithfully and obediently in the light of eternal truths.
