KNOWING YOUR BIBLE

August 13, 2023: Dear Friends, Welcome back to this blog whose purpose is to teach the follower how to learn and know the Bible. A few weeks away was needed due to a disorganization of the series of blogs written over the past several months. Since these blogs are referred to during the writings of each blog, it was important to have the company that oversees the website reorganize the blogs. This allowed followers to be able to look up important material in previous blogs to help in reinforcing the information that helps in learning the Bible. The last blog was written on July 23rd, giving instructions that allowed the follower to focus on the series on learning the Bible. Go to the April 23rd blog and progress through the July 16 blog to restudy on how to learn the Bible. This is an important Bible Study series that will help the follower to learn and know the Bible. Another series was started in the July 23rd blog on learning about important people and events that are written about in the Bible. Following this series will help the follower to become familiar with several important people and events. Being able to know where to look for different people and events will broaden the follower’s knowledge. Also, as one progresses in reading the Bible, many references about people and events can be found in different books of the Bible that can be led back to the original writings about the person or event. This series started in the book of Genesis. Bible verses listed on the creation and Adam and Eve are found in Genesis, chapters 1-4.; and on the flood with Noah and the Ark., Genesis, chapters 6 through 9. This week, the study will begin on Abraham and his family. Because the writings on Abraham and his family begin in Genesis, chapter 12 and go through Genesis, chapter 50, the study will last for 2 or more weeks. This week’s study will begin in Genesis 12 and go through chapter 24. Try to read 2-3chapters a day. Focus on the names of people Abraham dealt with during his life, including his wife, his children, his nephew and others. Picture how he lived, where he lived, and the power that he had. Remember that Abraham has been called the Father of Faith. The writings about God in these passages of scripture written about Abraham’s life are some of the first verses about God in the Bible. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR BIBLE STUDY THIS WEEK!
