The Bible Will Keep You From Sin, Or Sin Will Keep You From The Bible

Often times people think they can be Christian and still do everything that goes against every law God laid down and be ok. They are right. They will be ok, but they will never be any better than that! Others ask how they can avoid being this way. Some are good people, but they are too lazy or unwilling to read and study the Bible and pray everyday. They too ask how to avoid this. The only way is to 1. repent 2. start reading and studying the Bible. This is where people get stuck. They don't know where to start. Some get devotionals and others have plans of how much they will read a day (like me). I read 2 Old Testament, 1 Psalm and 1 New Testament a day 30 min. max. Others have different portions and it is usually planned to get through the Bible in a year. In order to know God you have to spend time with God. End of story! No other way to do it! Some say they don't understand the Bible. Then get more than one translation. I personally like the Holaman Christian Standard Bible. An easy read is the New Living Translation though it's not so accurate. The most common is the New International Verson. Just pick up a translation, read it and if it doesn't make sense get a different translation or ask your pastor or youth pastor for help!
