How to Start Reading the Bible ✝️

If you’re new to the Bible or starting fresh — you’re not alone. 💛

Here’s how to make it simple and meaningful:

1. Start with the Gospels – Begin with the life of Jesus (John or Luke are great starters).

2. Use a translation that’s easy to understand – Try the NLT or ESV.

3. Read small portions daily – Even one verse a day can speak volumes.

4. Ask: What does this teach me about God? About myself?

5. Pray before and after you read – Ask God to open your heart to His Word.

Take the pressure off. You don’t have to know everything — just start. 🫶🏽

📖Bible Verse:

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

— Psalm 119:105
