All scripture is given by inspiration from God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. ~2 Timothy 3:16
Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. ~Matthew 22:29
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. ~Romans 15:4
I was so excited last night when I finished reading the last book in the New Testament. I loved reading about the Good Shepherd! I am eager to start on the Old Testament next. I have planned it to where I will be finished by the end of the year, if not sooner. When I was younger I started reading the Bible but it was too tedious and I quit. However, now I am older and wiser and determined to read the good book in its entirety.
I plan to use my deeper knowledge of the Bible to encourage others. My goal is to have a scripture on my tongue for any situation.
The life and words of Jesus moved me. I felt truimphant, repentant, hopeful, humbled, but most of all uplifted. I wish I could have met him! I am looking forward to the Son shining again!
I am happy you have found a peace that only you can convey to others, in your own style! The future looks bright, huh?
I have to admit that I really don’t understand a lot of the Bible.
Some of the Bible is ambigious, especially the Old Testament (which is why I started with the New Testament first). James 1:5 says “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” I pray for understanding of the scriptures and hope that He makes it manifest to me.
I think the bible comes on a Cd’s? I think listening in the car would be a good way, a little bit at a time. Morocco I like that God , who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” That great.
What a great accomplishment! I love it when I finish something I have set out to do. I am so glad that rainbow’s peaking out at you. 😀
