It’s taken years, but I have finally gotten into a nice rhythm in terms of studying the bible. As we grow in our walk with Christ, knowing God’s word (and seeking it with zeal) is one of the most important things we can do. After all, he’s revealed himself to us in two primary ways: Through his Holy Spirit, which we received as a gift when we became Christians, and in his Word. My morning prayer almost always ends with David’s plea from Psalm 119: “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”Bible – The Message. You could argue about the importance or priority of many of the items on this list … but it’s pretty obvious that if you’re going to study the bible, you’ve got to start with the source materials: The bible itself. It might be that you find a single translation or bible that works for you; I actually haven’t found a translation that works for me at the exclusion of all others. I have to confess that I wrestled with putting The Message number one on my list. After all, it’s only the New Testament! However, I study the bible primarily so that I can know the person, character and example of Christ. And I don’t just want to know him in an academic sort of way; I want to know him as my best and most loyal friend. The Person who gave up everything – in a way that stretches the very meaning of that word – so that I could know my Creator and spend eternity with him.
Element number two comes tomorrow: The New Living Translation Study Bible.
