Reading the whole Bible for the first time

That's encouraging to hear @CodeTalker . May the Lord minister to you through His Word and strengthen your well-being!

 

Have you ever read the New Testament in the order it was originally written and in the context of its history? If not, I can highly recommend it!

I started reading the bible too (with the goal of reading it in its entirety). I finished Genesis and Exodus so far and it has really grounded me well, keeping my goals in sight. I'll say a prayer for you brother.
God's speed.

Awesome,I have read the bible all the way through,it will change your life.my advice is set aside a time you can read and not be interrupted and dont miss a day or it will become a habit to miss days even if you only read a chapter

 

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I decided to do a "Read the Bible in a year" plan. I started January 1st... I read a little each day from the Old Testament and New Testament. I read roughly 4 chapters a day, sometimes less.

 

I followed the same path as you did. Once I started nofap I discovered God and converted to Christianity, and I've made great progress in the Bible ever since. I've finished the New Testament and have most of the Old Testament done. I recommend you to pray everyday and trust in God's power, this is one of the most powerful ways to overcome your urges. I also highly recommend reading a couple of chapters first thing in the morning, but that is when you are most likely to have urges when you wake up.

I have heard people talk about keeping a Bible verse in mind when you face urges, so if you find a biblical quote against lust and in using the power of Christ I'd suggest using it when you feel like relapsing. My favorite one is Philippians 4:13. May God bless your journey and I wish you the best of luck in continuing the read the Bible brother.

 

Is your goal just to get through it? Or do you plan to enjoy the journey, too?

 

wow that's awesome, keep going man!

I started a couple of weeks ago, reading the bible from beginning to ending too. Not within a year though, I'm just taking my time and reading some other cristian books on the side. There is this one book which is called "love does". I personally find it an amazing read.

Btw I guess it was a good choice starting from the new testament, I always have so much difficulties reading through Leviticus, tbh I think I never entirely did..

 

I believe it is a great thing you're doing starting with the New Testament and then proceeding on to the old. I did that when I first converted to Christian from Atheist, and it really cemented my newfound belief in God. It also opened me up to the rest of the Bible as reading the words of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour as well as the letters of Saint Paul were the most eye-opening and impactful things I have read. Blessings and I wish you luck on the rest of your journey. You'll really enjoy the Book of Revelation.
