Next Steps Week 3

Reading the Bible

Did you know that God wants you to grow in Him?  It’s true …one of the most exciting ways you can grow is through reading and memorizing the Bible – God’s Word.  The Bible is the inspired word of God – every word written in it God has allowed and He endorses it.  The Bible is God’s life instruction manual to us.  It contains real answers to real problems that you and I face today.

The following are some passages to help you get started on your new life in God. Each day this week, read the scripture below and think about what it means for your life and for the people around you. Make God's word an important part of your life everyday.

Day 1: 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Day 2: John 1:12 “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

Day 3: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosever believeth in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.”

Day 4: 1 John 5:4 “…for everyone born of God overcomes the world, even our faith.”

Day 5: 1 John 5:11-13 “…And this is the testimony:  God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13) I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Day 6: John 6:47 “I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.”

Day 7: Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – 9) not by works, so that no one may boast.”
