Closer Love Walk with Jesus.....
Hello.....
A closer love walk with Jesus... I can not stress enough to people, read the Bible....why? So that you draw closer to God and His Son....the Bible is His love letter to you.Plus when you attend church how do you know they are teaching the truth, only one way....read the Bible. Just pray before you read......ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with wisdom,knowledge,intellegence and understanding? Where do you start? In the New Testament; Jesus is the new blood coveant, the Savior, the Redeemer, the New Testament. Some people say to start in John, but I like to tell people to start in Matthew, with the whole testimony of Jesus. How much do you read? How ever the Holy Spirit prompts you.....at first I read 10mins. per day, now sometimes I get so absorbed in it I read for hours, just read it. You may not understand some of the scriptures, but keep reading it and sooner or later a light bulb will come on. Sometimes I have read a scripture, and re-read it than come back two months later and read it and oh wow, how did I not see that? The index of the Bible is very good for looking up different words, areas, also a Bible dictionary and concordance, if you donot have one there are many on line now, and there is one on my web site, under resources. Also most Bible's give the history of the Bible in their introduction, please read that, it is informative and interesting, and also discussess translations.After studying, reading the New Testament than read the Old Testament; it is the history, but also tells of the coming of Jesus; the Bible was inspired by God to be written; by men he chose. To learn about God; His ways, His Love and His Son; we must study the whole Bible. How do you study the Bible, just take words; like holiness and look them up for further defining. It is a LOVE walk, and you will draw closer to our Lord. Next put what you read into practice, in your living every day. Next for a closer love walk, pray, it does not have to have a bunch of fancy words, just pray from your heart in truth and spirit, but you don't know how to pray? Well Jesus gave us a really good format Matthew 6 and Luke 11. If you have any questions concerning study in your spiritual love walk...please post them.
