NEW TESTAMENT:

MATTHEW THROUGH REVELATION IN ONE YEAR

BIBLE READING PLAN

52-week Bible Reading Plan

“therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.” (1 Peter 2:2)

Begin the New Year with a Bible reading & study plan that is simple, yet rewarding at the same time!  Since this plan includes only the New Testament, each segment can be read in 5-8 minutes, and will allow you the opportunity to actually study the portion of Scripture you are reading, instead of reading only…

If you choose to dig deeper, (and hopefully you will!), a 20-30 minute/day study can increase your knowledge of the Bible as well as your love for the Lord.  The goal should not be “quantity” (how much you read), but “quality” in what you read, learn and apply.  The reading plan is divided into 52 weeks, with readings for each day. 

Follow these steps in Bible study:

• Pray - confess sins before you begin; ask for the Holy Spirit's illumination of God's Word

• Observe - read the text over & over (repetition); take notes, ask questions

• Study - underline key words and/or phrases.  Ask, "What is the passage saying?"

• Evaluate - cross-reference the text with other portions of Scripture.  Find what others have said about the text (commentaries, Bible dictionaries)

• Meditate - what principle or command can be applied?  Is there a promise or basic doctrinal truth to lay hold of? Remember, DO what you have learned!
