Description

Read the Bible in a Year.

This is a guide and challenge to join us in reading the complete Bible from beginning to end in less than 1 year.

You can start any time you want. It does not have to be on January 1 as part of a new year’s resolution.

There are many Bile reading plans out there that tell you to read specific books in the Bible together, or start at a specific book in the middle, or something similar.

But, to truly understand the storyline of the Bible, we must start at Genesis and follow the narrative.

When you read the Bible to discover who God is, how holy He is, and how the Bible is about Jesus right from Genesis, we can find Jesus in every book in the Bible.

We have provided you with a reading plan to read only 4 chapters a day.

This way, we can read through the entire Bible in 304 days.

After every 12 chapters, you will find a short quiz of 12 questions, one question from each chapter. This way, we can track your reading and provide you with a certificate for reading the Bible in a year, and have some form of proof that you did complete it.

It is true that you can read the Bible in less time, but I have found that reading too many chapter in one day, does not really give you time to reflect and think about what you have read. And you do not really take in what you have read.

Reading the entire Bible, and not remembering what you have read, is pointless and a waste of time.

The Bible tells us to meditate on His Word.

Psalm 119:147-148   New King James Version
I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.
 My eyes are awake through the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.

Meditating on God’s Word means to think deeply about what we have read.

The more we read, and think about what we have read, the more intimate our relationship with God will get.

Yes, there are many things that will not make sense, or that you will not understand. This may cause you to lose hope.

But what is worse that losing hope, is skipping parts or chapters because you feel that it no longer applies today.

When you enroll in the other subjects in this 1st Year qualification,

“Biblical and Theological Studies”

I explain to you how the story of the Israelites relate to us, and more importantly, how the Law of God still applies.

The Law of God is Eternal, Holy, and Spiritual.

Once we understand how the law of Moses must be understood and applied in our spiritual lives, we discover a whole new level of faith.

Simply because faith now start to make sense, and we no longer need to blindly believe.

It gets really interesting from Subject 3: “Grace and God’s Eternal Law”, when we see the spiritual meaning and application of all the Sacrificial laws, circumcision, the journey of the Israelites, and so on.

You can do the Bible Reading Challenge together with the other subjects throughout the year.

The other subjects are well laid out and user friendly.

That means that there is enough time to complete the entire qualification in 1 year.

However, we do provide access to each subject for 6 months.

The subjects are sequential, and you can only access the next subject once the current one is completed.

But, as mentioned before, this Bible Reading Challenge will be open to access for 12 months.

In fact, I think that we will grant you access to the Bible Reading Challenge for 18 months. When the access after 18 months expire, you will have to start again at Genesis, chapter 1, as all your competed quizzes will be wiped clean.

I am not going to wish you luck. It is not Biblical.

But I do pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort you, guide you, and encourage you to keep reading. And that God will stir up a passion for reading His Word in your heart.

I pray that God will bless you with insight and understanding, and that you will not read the Bible with a biased opinion, but will be open to what God shows you in His Word.
