How to Start Reading the Bible
Choosing the right Bible translation can make all the difference. Look for one that’s easy to understand, like the New King James Version (NKJV) or New Living Translation (NLT). These versions use clear language while staying true to the original text.
If you’re unsure where to dive in, begin with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. These books focus on Jesus’ life, teachings, miracles, and love for humanity. They’re a great way to understand the heart of the Bible and connect with its message.
There’s no need to rush. The Bible isn’t a race; it’s a journey. Start small by reading a few verses or a short chapter each day. Reflect on what you’ve read and think about how it applies to your life. It’s better to understand a little well than to rush through a lot.
Before you open your Bible, take a moment to pray. Ask God to guide you and help you grasp what He wants to say. A simple prayer like, “Lord, please help me understand Your Word today,” is all it takes. Prayer prepares your heart and mind to hear from Him.

Frequently Asked Questions at Bible Digest
Is the Bible hard to understand?
The Bible can seem hard to understand at first, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s a big book with lots of history, poetry, teachings, and stories, written a long time ago in different cultures and languages. That’s why some parts might feel confusing.
But here’s the good news: the more time you spend reading it, the more it makes sense. Start with a version that’s easier to read, like the New King James Version (NKJV), and begin with books like Psalms, Proverbs, or the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John). They’re straightforward and full of wisdom.
What if I don’t have much time to read the Bible?
If you don’t have much time to read the Bible, that’s okay. Even small steps can make a big difference. Try starting with just a few minutes each day. You can read one verse, like Proverbs 3:5-6, or focus on a short passage from the Gospels.
There are also apps and audio Bibles that make it easy to listen while driving, cooking, or getting ready in the morning. You could pick a daily verse or devotion to reflect on throughout the day.
The key is consistency. Even if it’s just a little, spending time in God’s Word regularly will help you feel connected and encouraged. It’s not about how much you read but about letting it sink into your heart.
How can I stay consistent?
Staying consistent with Bible reading can be easier with a simple plan. Start by setting a specific time each day that works for you—like in the morning, during lunch, or before bed. Treat it like an appointment with God.
Keep it manageable. You don’t need to read for hours. Even 5-10 minutes a day can make a difference. Using a Bible reading plan or devotional can give you structure, so you know what to read next.
Find tools that help, like a Bible app with reminders or a physical Bible you enjoy using. You could also pair up with a friend or join a small group for accountability.
Lastly, pray before you read, asking God to help you understand and stay focused. Building the habit takes time, but the more you stick with it, the more natural it will feel.
What if I don’t understand what I’m reading in the Bible?
It’s completely normal to feel confused when reading the Bible, especially at first. Start by praying for understanding before you begin, asking God to guide your thoughts.
You can also use tools like study Bibles or commentaries that explain the context and meaning of passages. Joining a Bible study group or asking a trusted friend for guidance can provide valuable insights.
Remember, understanding grows over time. The more you read and reflect, the clearer things will become. Don’t rush—take it one step at a time!
What’s the purpose of reading the Bible?
The purpose of reading the Bible is to develop a deeper relationship with God. It reveals His character, His love for us, and His plan for our lives. As we read, we grow spiritually, gaining wisdom and guidance for everyday decisions. The Bible teaches us how to live in a way that honors God, offering comfort, encouragement, and correction when needed.
By spending time in God’s Word, we not only learn more about Him but also discover how to live with purpose, peace, and a heart aligned with His will.
