Step 4: The Bible
God has not left us without help in leading the Christian life. He inspired holy writers over the centuries to write the Bible - 66 books organized into the New Testament and Old Testament. You can learn about Jesus; learn how to live a Christian life; and study the lives of godly men and women of old by reading the Bible. God has given you "His instruction book" to help us live a victorious Christian life.

You can start by reading the Bible each day. In the New Testament, you can start with the Book of Matthew, which is one of 4 books that tells the story of Jesus. It is a good idea to read from the Bible every day you can read one or more chapters and ask God to help you understand His word. Just like you would read instructions about something you bought from a manufacturer, so you can read the Bible and find out from our Maker how we are to live life. God says the Bible is “a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” So read the Bible each and every day; obey what it says; and you will find spiritual strength to help you live a victorious Christian life.
