READ THE BIBLE

Have you read the Bible today?
The Bible, also known as the Word of God, Scripture(s), Holy Bible, is the revelation of God, an instrument that He Himself chose for us to come to know Him, to understand His will, to protect us against the danger of evil, etc. It feeds our soul.
It was not a human creation or invenction, but God´s chosen people who wrote the words spoken by God Himself (2 Peter 1.21).
Among the effects that the Word of God makes in us, we can highlight, as it says in 2 Timothy 3.16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."

TIPS:
1. Read the Bible everyday, day and night (Psalm 1.2);
2. Choose one book and read it in sequence. When finished, choose another one, continuing the reading;
3. Before you read, pray to God asking for wisdom and help to put into practice His will;
4. Join a Bible Study, but also remember to study the Bible alone;
5. If you have any doubt  in what you read, fist ask God, and after that, search for a religious leader who fully believe in the Bible, and/ or go to a theological seminary and talk to the teachers;
6. If you do not like reading the Bible, or if you do not have this habit, what are you waiting for to pray to God and ask Him to give you strength to read it and to practice what is writing in it?!
7. If, perhaps, you fail to read one day, do not be discouraged: read it;

You have a privilege to be able to read the Bible, so enjoy, and have a good reading!!
