Inside Chronology of the Bible Pamphlet

Just like any story, there is a beginning, middle, and end. The Bible is no exception. Here are 3 Benefits of Reading the Bible in Chronological Order:


3 Benefits of Reading the Bible in Chronological Order:

1.) We Can Better Understand and Connect the Scriptures as a Whole

It’s no surprise that the Bible can be difficult to read. From narratives, to poetry, and prophecy, it can be confusing to understand how each bit connects to one another. By reading the Bible chronologically, we can see each event take place and understand how each bit connects. For example, while reading the book of Ruth, it may not be intuitive to know that it was written near the same time as Judges, (the journey to the Promised Land.) By having that context, it will immensely help in your journey of understanding the Word.

2.) Understanding the Character of God

Oftentimes we read through the Bible and are confused about why God is responding the way He chose to. Without proper context, we are left in the dark, leading us directionless. Studying or reading the Bible chronologically will help bring clarity to His character, and provide a more full comprehension of who God is through each event.

3. It Fills in the Gaps So We Can See The Bigger Picture of God’s Perfect Plan

Grasping a narrative or one specific biblical principle is good, but understanding how all the accounts of the Word are tied to one another and what they mean as one cohesive record is even better! Skipping events and misunderstanding contexts can severely destroy our understanding of God’s cohesive plan. Through guidance and context, we can look into understanding the Bible as a whole, thus leading us closer to God!

Conclusion

This Easter Season, we invite you to join us as we read the Word together from chronological order. Simple, colorful, and easy to follow, the Chronology of the Bible Timeline pamphlet covers more than 2,200 years of biblical history and will help you understand God and what he is saying, Who He is, as well as His magnificent plan for the human race.
