KNOWING YOUR BIBLE
August 7, 2022: Dear Friends. Welcome to this blog on “KNOWING YOUR BIBLE.” A new series on important events that are written about in the Bible will begin in this blog. This series will discuss specific happenings that will help increase knowledge and self-confidence when striving to learn the Bible.
So far this year, there have been 3 series of important writings written on this blog. All blogs, either written together in a series, or in individual blogs, are based on biblical scripture with encouragement of individual interpretation of what is being read.
The first series was focused on “Learning About God” and can be found and studied by returning to the January 2 blog and progressing through the February 6 blog. The follower should be able to learn and gain knowledge about God when reading and studying these blogs..
The second series was written during Lent, from February 13 through April 17, and focused on the humanity of Jesus Christ. Discussions in these blogs on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, should bring one nearer and closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The third series, which was completed last week, discussed intense, important instructions and guidance, that will help one learn to use and study the Bible. The series was written on blogs from April 24 to July 31. The follower can return to any one of these series to help in studying and learning the Bible. When reviewing and contemplating any previous blogs, take time to concentrate on what is being taught so that understanding andi knowledge of the Bible will be accomplished. Remember, the more you know about the Bible, the more you will want to know and learn about the Bible.
As we begin this series on important events that are written throughout the Bible, our focus this week will be on the book of Genesis. We will start with the first book of the Bible, Genesis, and progress week by week through to the last book of the Bible, Revelation. Some books of the Bible may not be mentioned in this series. There may be some events not written about that others might think more important than the events mentioned in this series of blogs. Just keep in mind that when studying these blogs, one may find more and different information that is written about in outside resources that too can be helpful in learning and knowing the Bible.
There are at least three important happenings or events, maybe more, that is written about in the book of Genesis. Three of the events or happenings will be listed below with verses to read on each.
