When you study the bible the first thing you'll notice is you need salvation if you haven't asked for salvation before. The King James Version Bible is the main bible to study. The reason i pick this is because it is one of the original translations into English and if some of the words are a little ancient you can look them up and get a deeper study Through all.
ROMANS 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
I was sitting in the collage library the other day and see a commentary on the book of John so I picked it up and looked to see what the book had to say and was surprised to see that it talked about John as if it were a book of fiction.
Every verse you see me put here will be out of the KJV unless i make a note of it.
JOHN 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Commentaries can be handy they can get you deeper into the study but don't just rely on them. I am hearing that people are learning about the bible from professors, commentaries or other bible versions in Collage and not staying mainly in the KJV bible.
Someone else's opinion on what the bible is or says is not what you need to know. Some opinion's are pretty good but a professor, commentary or other bible translation can say whatever.
Now I'm not saying commentaries and other bible translations are bad what i am saying is the study of the Holy Bible "Gods word" should take precedence over anything i say or anyone else says.
JOHN 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Jesus Christ for your salvation.
The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation.
�Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven?"
"Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins? I thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.�
Go tell a Christian church you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian.
