If you’re a new Christian and have no idea where to start in the Bible, here are 3 recommendations for you to get started with! 📖
What book of the Bible are you currently reading? 🤔
Heart change starts in the mind. 🧠
This is why Paul also writes in Romans:
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
When we set our minds on worldly things, on things of the flesh, we are leading ourselves into death and self-destruction.
But when we set our minds on the things of the Spirit, the very things of God, we walk into life and peace.
You have more control over this than you think.
It’s in what you consume every single day that the decision is made as to what your mind is set on.
What are you setting your mind on? 💭
There are definitely more, but here are 3 reasons to read your Bible! 📖
1. It encourages you 🕊️
Above all, the message of the Bible is a message of hope. No matter what you’re going through, the Bible has something to say about your situation that will encourage you and lift you up.
2. It teaches you 🧠
Every page of the Bible is filled with wisdom, practical knowledge, and absolute gold mines about who God is, who you are, and what life is all about. The amount that we can learn from it is endless.
3. It changes you 🫀
If the Bible encouraged you and taught you but didn’t change you, it wouldn’t be the true Word of God. The Bible is a living word that shapes the very fabric of our being to be more like Christ. That in itself is the true treasure of the Bible.

I can’t help but continuously be reminded of how the Israelites refused to go up Mt. Sinai themselves to meet with God.
Even though the Creator of the universe had invited them up into His presence, they refused out of fear and made Moses go alone in their place.
And when I think about this, I think… how much of our church culture today is the same way?
How many times do we make our pastors, mentors, and influencers go up to the mountain on our behalf so that we can reap from where they’ve sown without even experiencing God for ourselves?
Make sure you go up the mountain yourself. For in the day of judgment, your pastor’s relationship with God won’t save you. And today, it won’t change you.
Intentional living is a topic that has been living in my mind rent-free for quite a while. 💭
So much so that I just wrote an entire blog article on verses to encourage you to live intentionally! ✏️

Sometimes, the Christian life can feel like running around putting out fires of sin. 🔥
One day, you’re dealing with lying. The next, you’re struggling to spend time with God. The next, you’re finding yourself full of pride. But, in truth, it all comes back to your heart. 🫀
Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”
We quote this often, but we never talk about the very next verse:
“I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
We can’t treat our hearts, but God can. You can stop trying to put out fires with your own efforts of righteousness and instead, spend time with God so that He can shape and change your heart. 🤍
It is not enough to simply believe in God.
You must also believe Him, that what He says is true and that He is who He says He is.
Once you do that, you are truly on your way to having a genuine relationship with Him.
Food for thought.
Here are 3 ways that you can cultivate a more prayerful life, starting today! 🙏🏼 Which one of these will you be implementing this week?? 💭
We really need to stop giving Satan more credit than he deserves...
He didn't make you do that - you did that.
As long as we continue to blame him for our bad decisions, we will never be able to grow as followers of Jesus.
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. ~ James 1:14-15
Bible names are hard okay 🥲

The Bible wasn't written TO you, but it was written FOR you. 📖 #biblestudy #holybible #christianliving #christianity #christiancontent #havefaith
It's all about the heart, my friends ❤️ #christianliving #christianity #christian #christiancontent #lovejesus #jesuslovesyou
Don't just brush over the fact that the God who created everything that you see around you genuinely wants you to spend time with Him. Like, that isn't just a 'fun fact' or a Christian slogan - it is something that we should be ecstatic and overjoyed about, yet we so often neglect to truly spend time with Him. Spend time with God this week. No, really. Give it a shot. Just pick up your Bible each morning, read something, and pray wholeheartedly. I promise you, you'll want more by the end of the week. #christianliving #christianity #christian #christiancontent #readyourbible #followjesus #biblestudy #havefaith
Being enthusiastic about Jesus and being a follower of Jesus are not the same thing. #followjesus #thebible #jesuslovesyou #christianliving #christianity
For anyone interested, this book is ‘Celebration of Discipline’ by Richard Foster. 📚 Would definitely recommend if you can get your hands on a copy! Also, drop a 📚 in the comments if you would be interested in more book content. I love books so maybe I’ll throw in a book recommendation every now and then! #christianlifestyle #christiancontent #thebible #biblestudy #christians #christianity #christian #havefaith #faith
🚨🚨 DISCLAIMER: I am NOT saying that everything bad that happens to you is your fault. Far from it. What I AM saying is that there are things in our lives that we battle with that actually are just the consequences of our own actions. We shouldn’t blame those on God. Take responsibility for what you’ve done, learn from your mistakes, and make different choices next time. Simple as that. #christianlifestyle #christiancontent #thebible #biblestudy #christians #christianity #christian #havefaith #faith
Being ‘in’ the world but not ‘of’ the world can be tricky, but it all comes down to who/what you’re pulling your values, direction, and joy from. 🌎 Food for thought. 💭 #christianlifestyle #christiancontent #thebible #biblestudy #christians #christianity #christian #havefaith #faith
Just because you know God will forgive you does not mean you should take advantage of His forgiveness. ☁️ Think about it like this - if you had a spouse that you knew for a fact loved you unconditionally and would forgive you for anything at all, would you take advantage of that and cheat on them every chance you got? God’s grace is an amazing gift, but it is not to be taken advantage of. Let’s stop treating it like a free pass. 🎫 #christianlifestyle #christiancontent #thebible #biblestudy #christians #christianity #christian #havefaith #faith
These are the top three things that every Christian should do, especially if you’ve just started your faith journey! ❗️ Number one, start reading the Bible. 📖 I know it can be daunting, but there are tons of resources out there to help you. Use Youversion if you want a Bible reading plan and use BibleProject’s videos to help you understand what you’re reading overall. Number two, start praying. 🙏🏼 Just talk to God and make time to listen to Him. Don’t worry about saying all the “right” things. Just be open and honest and give God space to answer. Number three, surround yourself with other believers. 🤝🏼 They’ll be able to encourage you, support you, and help you along the way! And if you have any questions, my DMs are always open! #faith #havefaith #knowgod #jesus #kingofkings #christianity #christians
The application of what you read is what creates the change. 📖 Don’t just mindlessly read the Bible. Truly meditate on the Word of God and it will make all the difference. 🫀 #faith #havefaith #knowgod #jesus #kingofkings #christianity #christians
Don’t neglect reading the Old Testament!! 📖 Far too often, we tend to just read and teach the New Testament, when the truth is that the NT rests on the foundation of the OT. 📜 If you truly want the full picture of God and the biblical narrative, you’ve gotta start with the OT. 💭 #faith #havefaith #knowgod #jesus #kingofkings #christianity #christians
Was Jesus bad at grammar?? 🧐🤣 In all seriousness though, this is a super interesting connection that Jesus made here. If anyone asks you, Jesus did indeed claim to be God! ☁️ He wasn't just bad at grammar 😉 #jesusisgod #bibletruths #christianfaith #bibleverses #christianity #thebible
What would it truly look like to put God FIRST in your life? 🤔💭 #christian #christianity #havefaith #kingdomofgod #thebible #christians #lovegod
These are some of the scariest verses in the Bible.. but they don't have to be. 💭 Christianity is not just a set of rules or religious practices. It's a relationship with the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords. Better make sure you know Him 👑 #faith #havefaith #knowgod #jesus #kingofkings #christianity #christians
