What is the book of BIBLE ? The Bible is history of God’s association with his creation. It is a collection of dialogues between God and the humans as well as a history of their relationship.

Why Should We read BIBLE ? The Early Church included in authorized Holy Text of the Bible. These were to help people grow in purity and love in relationship with God. It is a means of remaining in touch with God and knowing His Will. This is the manual ,which God made some men, inspired by holy spirit to write and to teach men how they should handle life in this world.

Christ , Main Objective of Reading Bible :- Bible help us know , experience and obey Christ , so that we can enjoy life in its fullness and plentifulness. “But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God; and believing ye might have life through his name” John 20:31

How Should we Read the Bible? With an obedient mind. Read the word through Church. As an epistle which God has sent for me. Connecting it with our different kinds of problems. With the help of the Holy Spirit and Centering on Christ.

With obedient mind:- Jesus says that those who listen to God’s will through the word and act in accordance with it are like the man who built his house on a rock foundation. He who hears or reads yet does not obey it is like the man who built his house on sand. The first ones’s life remains unshattered even in the face of adverse circumstances. Mathew 7:24-27

Read the word through Church The Word of God has to be understood through the light of fundamental faith worship and tradition of Church. Errors come up and disagreement and disruptive tendencies increase as every individual interprets the word of God according to their own convenience. Through out the worship reading s of Bible are there in each services and sacraments. Also Biblical incidents characters and ideas are incorporated into prayers and ‘sedara’. Bible makes us understand the mutually complementary standing of Bible and the Declaration of faith to avoid literal interpretations.

As an epistle which God has sent for me The Bible is a letter through which the True God gives us a message. Thus Bible should be read with high spirits and passion.

Connecting it with our different kinds of problem God guide us through Bible in every problems, may be individual, in church, society, nation and ecology. Eg: The man concerned ecological problem will find in the parable of Good Samaritan that it is nature that is being destroyed.

With the help of the Holy Spirit and Centering in Christ Christ is the center which keeps united all the books in The Bible. The Old Testament is the preparation for Christ and New Testament is the discovery of Christ. The word of God must be mediated in the Light of Christ’s and in constant communion with him. The Holy Spirit ,guiding us along the path of truth help us best in understanding the word of God.

Arrangement to read and meditate bible.  First prepare your mind to concentrate on meditating on the reading at hand. Imagine yourself in each scene or drama. Besides reading the Bible from beginning to end, read it in the chronological order in which the events took place. Read all prophecies about Jesus and then read the gospels before you read any other portion of the scriptures.

Read the Book of Revelation Start by reading about each king that reigned in the kingdom of Israel and Judah. Take note of the relatives of individual Hebrews and how they related with one another. Take note of individual personality traits that each character displayed and try to understand the results of both negative and positive attributes. Read all prophetic books of the Bible such as Isaiah through Malachi, and Revelation. Look for what they have in common.

Focus your reading of the Scriptures on the books or letters of the apostle (or saint) Paul. Read from Romans to Hebrews. Read the Scriptures that center on divine wisdom. Read Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Read the Bible books that focus on divine poem, prayer, and songs. Read Job, Psalms and the Song of Solomon. Read the book of Hebrews and then Scriptures that deal with the covenant, Law, and the priestly arrangement. Read Exodus chapter 20 through Deteronomy chapter
