Living with the Book

We should spend our entire Christian life searching the Scriptures to learn about God and His will for our lives. Th roughout our lifetime we may study a book of the Bible many times. We will also hear messages and read commentaries or other books that help us better understand God’s word. Most of us take the insights we receive on various occasions, make a quick note, and promptly lose them. Your Journal provides a permanent place to keep a record of what you learn when you study the book of John. Add to your journal over the years, each time you return to this gospel, hear another message or read a book that provides new understanding into these Scriptures. Th is Journal provides insight into the times and the context in which God’s Word was fi rst delivered. It will also challenge you to consider how the passages you are studying apply to your life today. As you read through a book of the Bible, spend time meditating on His Words. Pray about them. Write down what God is telling you from these passages and how you have been responding. God bless you in your journey with Him. Phil and Linda Charlton
