4 Tips to Read God’s Word in the Bible App

Person using phone

If you want to read the Bible more, you’re not alone…

In a recent study by the American Bible Society, 52% of people surveyed said they wanted to read the Bible more.

Making time to study Scripture can sometimes feel like a struggle, but the Bible App is one of the best tools to help you consistently spend time with God through His Word.

Here are four ways you can build your Bible habit.

1. Pick a book in the New Testament.

When you read the Bible, you don’t have to start from the beginning in Genesis.

You can start with a book in the New Testament like Matthew to see the prophecies in the Old Testament fulfilled through the life of Jesus.

Read Matthew >

2. Read one chapter each day.

If you want to read a book of the Bible, try breaking it down by just reading one chapter every day.

This month, study God’s wisdom in the book of Proverbs and read one chapter each day for 31 days.

Read Proverbs >

3. Try different Bible versions.

If you want to gain a deeper understanding about a specific verse, you can compare Bible versions.

From the New International Version to the New Living Translation to the New King James Version, there are thousands of versions in the Bible App you can explore.

Explore Bible Versions >

4. Start a Bible Plan.

Explore thousands of Plans created to help you study, understand, and apply the Bible to your life.

Why does reading the Bible consistently matter?

Friends Laughing

Reading Scripture isn’t just something to check off of your list—God’s Word will actually transform your life.

Research shows that destructive habits decrease and positive habits increase when people are in God’s Word at least four days a week.

Someone who reads the Bible four or more times a week is:

  • – 59% less likely to view pornography
  • – 74% less likely to gamble
  • – 407% more likely to memorize Scripture
  • – 228% more likely to share their faith with others
  • – 231% more likely to disciple others

These same people are 30% less likely to struggle with loneliness.

The Bible App can help you build a consistent Bible habit, and you can keep track of your progress with Daily Streaks.

Commit to spending at least 4 days each week in God’s Word and watch how it changes your life.
