The Bible and You: How to Study the Bible

The sourcebook of the Christian faith is the Bible. Most Christians reverence it, accept its truth, and believe it is the Word of God. Many of them, however, do not read it, and most new or non-Christians have little knowledge of its content.

These pages are designed as a simple and elementary guide to reading the Bible. It is a practical aid for the beginner in the study of the Scriptures.

Remember, the purpose of the Bible is to lead you to Jesus Christ (John 20:31). We have prepared a page that explains how you can accept Jesus Christ’s gift of life. If you do not already have a personal relationship with Christ, we invite you to go to How to Become a Christian now, and let us know your decision. Perhaps you want to find a place in your local community where you can receive help and encouragement. We will be happy to refer you to a local Baptist church.
