What is Bible Study?

Bible study is a journey of discovery! It's about intentionally reading, exploring, and reflecting on God's Word to understand Him better, deepen your faith, and find inspiration for your daily life. Think of it as a conversation with God, where He speaks through Scripture and you listen, ponder, and respond.

As a new believer, you may feel overwhelmed by the size of the Bible or unsure where to begin. Don't worry, that's perfectly normal! This guide is here to help you navigate the Bible, find methods that work for you, and experience the joy and transformative power of God's Word.

Why Study the Bible?

How to Get Started with Bible Study

Ready to begin your journey? Here's how to dive in:

  1. Choose Your Guide: Find a Bible translation easy to read and understand. Modern versions like the New Living Translation (NLT) or English Standard Version (ESV) are great starting points. (Need help picking? Check out our guide: "Best Bibles for Beginners")
  2. Create Your Sanctuary: Find a quiet spot where you can focus without distractions. It could be a comfy chair, your favorite coffee shop corner, or even outside in nature!
  3. Start Small: Don't feel pressured to read entire chapters at once. Begin with short passages, even 5-10 minutes a day is a great start. Consistency is key!
  4. Gather Your Tools: Simple resources can enhance your experience. A notebook, pen, and maybe a Bible dictionary or commentary (we've created a list of recommendations for you) can make a huge difference.
  5. Pray & Begin: Ask God to guide you as you open the Bible. Approach it with an open heart and eagerness to learn from Him!
