Studying the bible starts with a clean mind and reasoning. The bible contains the words of God which is expected to guide and teach us. The beginners guide will always teach us to start with the new testament. The new testament is much easier to navigate and understand than the old testament. The new testament like Mathew, Luke and John teaches with clearly about the life of Jesus Christ on earth. Beginners should read slowly, seeking understanding rather than rushing through chapters. Praying before reading helps invite the Holy Spirit to give wisdom and clarity, as the Bible is best understood with God’s help.
It is also important for beginners to read the Bible regularly and in context. Using simple Bible translations can make understanding easier, while comparing passages helps reveal deeper meaning. The Bible explains itself, so reading related verses builds clearer understanding over time. Beginners should not be discouraged by difficult passages but should trust that growth comes gradually.
