The Bible is  One Story, His Story

Behind ten thousand events stands God, the builder of history, the maker of the ages. Eternity bounds one side, and eternity bounds the other side. Time is in between. Genesis, origins, – Revelation, endings. And all the way God is working things out. Go down into the minutest detail everywhere, and see that there is one great purpose moving through the ages; the eternal design of the Almighty God to redeem a wrecked and ruined world.

Study the whole Bible

The Bible is one book, and you cannot take it in texts and expect to comprehend the magnificence of Divine Revelation. You must see it in its completeness. God has taken pains to give a progressive revelation, and we should read it from beginning to end.  Reading little scraps can never compensate for doing deep and consecutive study on the Bible itself.  We must get back to the book, and then we will not tolerate scrap work.  We would never try to read any other book, even the lightest novel in scrappy fashion.

Study the Bible By Divisions

Another way to study the Bible is by its divisions: Law, History, Poetry, Major and Minor Prophets, Gospels, Acts, Paul’s Letters, and Revelation.Here we find great unity, for “In the volume of the Book it is written of Me,” says Christ. Everything points to the King!

Each book has a message, and it is ours to discover what that message is. Read until you discover the message of the book. It is easy to discover the purpose in John.  But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:31)

It is not always so easy but it is possible.
