1). Pick one of the 4 gospels
The 4 gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This is where you can read about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is essential for the Christian faith. You can always add a study to help with understanding the context of what you are reading. These can be helpful! Once you finish reading through one gospel, I recommend picking another. When reading through the gospels, the story of Jesus is really setting a foundation for you to build on as you continue to read the Bible.
I have created an 18-day reading plan for you that goes through the Gospel of John. This reading plan is a great way to build reading the Bible as a daily habit as well as giving you an idea of where to start reading in your Bible. Make sure to subscribe below to get your Gospel of John reading plan!
2). Continue in the New Testament
Once you finish reading a couple of the gospels, then I would recommend you move on to more books in the new testament of your B
Tip:
If you’re struggling to know which gospel to read, or where to start reading in the New Testament after you’ve read any of the gospels, ask God where He would like you to read. It may not be an audible answer you receive but listen to your heart and trust that God is guiding you. He will speak to you no matter where you decide to start reading.

What about the Old Testament?
Hi Olivia, I recommend starting in the New Testament in one of the 4 Gospels first. Sometimes starting in the Old Testament can be confusing. I know it was for me when I was first starting to read the Bible! But if you are familiar with the Bible already and are just needing help for where to read next and would like to read in the Old Testament, I would recommend reading the Old Testament in Chronological order. I hope this was helpful!
