Where To Start In The Bible? What To Read First?

Where do you start when reading the Bible? There are so many options and so many opinions.
In this short message I am answering this question from my own opinion, explaining why I suggest this and teaching you how to read the Bible and understand in a simple way.
My prayer is that you receive and hear from the Holy Spirit what He has for you in this message.

Amen 🙏

[@Red-Bird-October]

Personally, I’m a proponent for reading the Bible straight through, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation, at least when you’re reading it for the first time. Doing it that way greatly helped my understanding of scripture. ❤

[@hiswordmywalk]

Awesome! His Word is His Word! All of it! Great job going straight through.

[@carlettarinard4252]

I really believe that God led me to you Kaela! I jus happen to stumble across your video’s a couple of days ago. I wasn’t raised in a Church family. We went some, but not that often. I’ve always felt there has to be more!… I started reading the Bible in 2012…and I also got Baptized that year! I still have a lot to learn…I am not where I need to be…I still feel like a baby Christian and I’m sure I still have a lot to learn! I really want to build a stronger relationship with God. Thank you! 💖💖💖

[@momofthemonsters]

I recently found your channel and I love watching and listening and learning from you! I am asking for prayers. Tomorrow April 30 I have a doctors appointment for a 48 hour eeg. then on may 1st I have an inspection for my apartment! This is all very stressful on me! please pray everything goes well!

[@hiswordmywalk]

Lord, I come to You right now in the Name of Jesus and I lift up my new friend to You. I pray for peace. Peace in her mind and in her heart. I thank You for developments in medicine and tests that can help us. Hold her close, please Lord as she wears the heart monitor, and reveal Yourself to her in a fresh way. With decisions ahead, we thank You for already knowing, already being there, already making a way where we can’t always see a way. You are good. You are mighty. You are powerful. You are sovereign, and You are love. Please love Your daughter and help her to feel Your presence in these coming days. In Jesus’ Name. Amen 🙏🏼 ❤

[@halwiggam5465]

I hand out bibles. I give out a book mark that has emergency numbers and it give people a direction for their questions. I heard a guy say he was handed a bible and he didn't know where to start so he needed a job so he went the job section (Job).

[@BumbleBee-ut7tf]

😂 ❤

[@bzrkmaniac7157]

First time I heard Gods voice he said, “Read Romans.” 😅 I did. It was great. After that I read the gospel. Thinking about just reading Acts next. 😊

[@hiswordmywalk]

that's awesome! Acts is next after the Gospels, not just in the Bible but chronologically. It flows right into it. Enjoy!

[@annafrench6269]

Thank you so so much!🤗🤗

[@garyowens8201]

There’s no wrong answer on where to start. I do feel however that for someone who has never read scripture , the book of John is a very good beginning point.

[@hiswordmywalk]

Totally! There's definitely no wrong answer, just opinions from our own experiences as we have each grown ☺️

[@garyowens8201]

I just started watching your study in Matthew. Love your energy and enthusiasm you bring. I’m one of those who really enjoys that deep dive into the study of the words and how they’re used and going back to the Greek. It really helps to gain context since our English language doesn’t always cross over that well.

[@pattylevasseur4041]

kaela i JUST GOOGLED THIS LAST NITE FOR MY BIBLE !!! it said exactly the very same thing!!!!!!! then read acts... continuation of the gosples then the epistles...then james and john 1...genesis .psalmes, david... that is the layout they gave ;];];] great job girlie;];];]

[@ndumiemrsc4197]

Thank you for this video. I have been struggling where to start but I was reading anyway. Now my problem is to be a perfectionist. If I buy a note book, I am scared to start writing on it. It feels like I will make a mistake and I don't like errors on my book. It’s better when I use a device so that I can edit. I don't know how to explain this creepy feeling. I want to let go of being too perfect. This affects me in so many areas of my life.

[@hiswordmywalk]

You are so welcome. Well, as in anything in life, change takes work. How about this, try watching a couple chapters of the book of Matthew videos on my channel without taking any notes at first, and then see what flows.

Start from genesis to revelations. Read the whole story prayerfully. 2 Tim 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whomfn you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of Godfn may be complete, equipped for every good work. The scripture Paul is referring to here is what we call the Old Testament and it is able to make you wise unto salvation. Blessings.

[@kelleym7623]

To start in Genesis and read through in order to revelation can be heavy especially for a new believer. I tried that as a new believer it was hard versus reading some old testament and some new testament.

[@davelyn786]

@@kelleym7623 I understand people say that. It’s a story. It has a beginning and an end. Weren’t supposed to understandi it the first time we read it. We understand the more we read and live it. We don’t read any other book starting at the end. As a new believer I was always told not to read it from the beginning but I think differently now. The old came first and that will help us to understand the new better.
