Do you desire to know Christ and want to learn all you can about his life and ministry? There is no better place than the Bible to get the answers you need. Opening the Bible can be confusing for many people, but following a few tips will help you know Christ better and develop a personal relationship with him.
Find a Bible translation you enjoy reading
There are many Bible translations available and it is important to find one that is enjoyable for you to read. The easiest way to find the Bible translation that is best for you is to pick a chapter of the Bible and read it in several translations online. This will help you find one that appeals to you prior to purchasing a Bible.
Make Bible reading a daily habit
In order to know Christ better and be a seeker of him, you need to be consistent in the practice of daily scripture reading. It is best to set aside at least 15 to 30 minutes a day to read your Bible. This daily practice will help you learn about the miracles Christ performed and how he established guidelines for spiritual living and interacting with others as he walked this earth.
Set aside a quiet space for study
Reading your Bible when you are distracted makes it difficult to grasp the material you are reading. Establishing a quiet time area in your home where you are not likely to be interrupted is key. A comfortable chair and a small table will make it easier for you to focus on reading about the life of Christ and take notes on what you are learning.
Begin reading the New Testament
If you want to be a true seeker of Christ, the best place to start is the New Testament in your Bible. This allows you to begin reading about the birth of Christ and follow his life as he grew and began his ministry on earth. It will showcase his birth, life, death, and resurrection, which will take you on an exciting journey to understand and know him better.
Knowing Christ better can impact all areas of your life for the better. Not only does learning how Christ lived his life help you know more about who he is, but it can also help you be a better person by learning how to incorporate his ways into your own life as you interact with family and friends. For seekers of Christ, there is no better place than the Bible to start on your journey to know Christ well.
