Have you ever started reading the Bible with good intentions, only to find yourself confused a few weeks later? Maybe you were doing great in Genesis, but somewhere along the way you lost the thread and weren’t sure how the pieces fit together. I’ve had to help many people work through that struggle, and most of the time the problem isn’t a lack of devotion. It’s a lack of understanding of the story God is telling.
So let me hand you a few things to hold onto.
You’re reading one story, not sixty-six separate books. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one unified story with one Author and one Hero. Once you begin reading with that perspective, passages that felt disconnected start finding their place.
You’re meant to read Scripture in context. A verse carries more weight when you understand where it sits in the larger story. That’s why knowing the storyline of Scripture changes the way you approach every chapter you read.
You’re not reading as an outsider. If you’ve put your faith in Jesus, you’ve been brought into God’s story. The same God who worked through Abraham, David, and the early church is still at work in your life today.
Read the full blog here to learn the six-part storyline that ties the entire Bible together and helps Scripture make sense from beginning to end.
Blessings,
Vlad
P.S. If you’re in Southern California, I’d love to see you at The Way World Outreach in San Bernardino on June 25. I’ll be sharing a message for their 22nd anniversary celebration.
