Deepen Your Understanding of Scripture in One Year

AMY TURNER

Many Christians find it helpful to read the entire Bible from beginning to end at least once each year. Developing this habit may not only strengthen discipline but also deepen understanding of God’s word. Rather than choosing random verses, readers start to notice the importance of context — recognising how surrounding passages shape the meaning of a verse. This careful approach helps prevent misunderstandings and teaches believers to interpret Scripture responsibly.

The Bible itself calls for this kind of thoughtful study. In 2 Timothy 2:15, it says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” Christians should take the reading and teaching of the Bible seriously.

In a world filled with endless opinions and beliefs, those who truly know the Scriptures have a steady foundation for their faith and life. The Bible offers clear guidance and security for the soul, no matter how uncertain the world becomes.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105
