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.

4. Start a Bible Plan.
