Why should we read “through” the Bible? Why not just read here and there, perhaps finding a subject that interests us? Or how about a short devotional? As long as we read something every day, isn’t that good enough?

When we read through all of Scripture, we begin to see the big picture. As we go through the book of Genesis, for example, we’ll look at the creation account and what it tells us about our incredible God. It will launch us on a journey through the history of God’s people. In it, we’ll read some of the most fascinating stories ever recorded.

As we go through the Prophets, we’ll see the many examples where their prophecies have already come to pass. And our faith will grow.

As we read the Psalms, we will see how much the psalmists were like us. We’ll grow in wisdom as we look at a verse or two in Proverbs every day. In the New Testament, we’ll walk with Jesus and the Apostles, read Paul’s letters with fresh understanding, and marvel at the glories of eternity future.

So, why read “through” the Bible? So we understand the whole counsel of God and come to know the God of the Bible and not God as we think He should be.

Perhaps the question should be, “Why not read through the Bible?”
