Our world is messed up, and God’s Word is our only hope for knowing Jesus and living joyfully.
You need two things to study God’s Word: a copy of the Bible and the Holy Spirit. A Bible can be purchased from our store or any online or retail outlet, or perhaps you have multiple copies on your shelf at home. (Please let us know if you can’t afford a Bible.) I read and study the New Living Translation. It is written on a sixth-grade reading level. As one who has always struggled with reading comprehension and application, this translation is incredible. On some occasions, I have felt no shame in pulling my kid’s children’s Bible from the shelf. I advise you to get a Bible that is easy to understand. (Maybe you are laughing, I can’t understand any Bible.) The understanding comes when we initiate a relationship with Jesus and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
When we confess Jesus as our Savior (Romans 10:9), the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts. The Holy Spirit is our Teacher. (John 14:26). He will teach us everything we need to know and give us a peace concerning what we don’t know, especially when it comes to how to study God’s word.
We use many online websites to enhance our learning. These sites are free, so check them out. Let us warn you – one click will lead to another, and before you know it, you are immersed in studying the Word and loving every minute!
