Bible's Unified Story
- The Bible is 66 books written over 1,500 years by 40 authors with one central theme: God's rescue plan through Jesus Christ.
- Reading it reveals purpose, God's character, and how God speaks to us today.
Choose Consistency Over Sporadic Reading
- Build consistency by reading daily rather than sporadically; small, regular devotion produces growth over time.
- Treat Bible reading like a discipline similar to exercise and make it a daily habit.
Difficulty Signals Depth, Not Error
- Reading Scripture remains a difficult discipline in a culture that prizes convenience and instant answers.
- Difficulty doesn't mean the Bible is wrong; persistence in studying it yields deeper understanding.
