Bible Study Guide

The Holy Bible.

Some of us think it’s difficult to read, and I was there once, too. I used to read it without taking the time to actually sit and understand it. I also used to think that it was difficult to understand and I even went as far as to criticize some parts of the Bible that I deemed too violent. However, as I sit and studied His Word, I came to understand why God created us and why some accounts in the Bible are bluntly written. Why He rebukes, chastise, and encourage us to walk in His ways. 

The Bible is the greatest love letter ever written signed from God to us.

I do intend to cover all 66 books, but I had no intention of doing so before.

“Bible” actually means “books” and it’s filled with history, poetry, prophecies, and letters. The two main parts of the Bible are called the Old Testament and the New Testament, and they work pretty well together. They can be divided into sections as seen in the illustration below:
