IDEAS For GETTING To KNoW GoD: (taken from this resource from the Wilds)
- Create a notebook on the character of God- a “Biography of God.”
- Study the names of God. How does knowing this name of God change how you to relate to Him?
- Study different aspects of God’s character. Look for passages where God reveals that specific aspect of His
nature to someone. - Choose a Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) to read through. Look for one specific truth about Christ as you read.
- Study the “I Am” statements of Christ.
- Study out what the epistles say about the believer’s union with Christ.
- Study Psalm 119 and mark every reference to God’s Word. What is God’s Word like? What does it do? What kind of attitude does the psalmist have towards it?
- Study I Corinthians 13. How are each of these qualities of love displayed in the life of Jesus Christ?
- Read through the New Testament marking every reference to prayer. What needs to change in your life?
- Study the “one another” passages in the New Testament. Think of how Jesus fulfilled these, and how you can!
- Read through the book of Acts (one chapter a day) looking for one theme as you read.
- Read through Jeremiah, marking any reference to pride in one color and any reference to humility in another.
- Do a biographical study on different characters in the Bible.
- Focus on an area of your life where growth in Christlikeness is needed.
- Read Proverbs. Read one chapter per day. Study the different types of people found in Proverbs. Look for themes.
- Read a passage or chapter once a day for a full month (Philippians, Colossians, James, 1 Peter, 1 John, Romans 6). Look for God’s character, major themes, and timeless truths.
- Read through the Bible. Use a One Year Bible with assigned daily readings. Try a chronological reading schedule. Read through a specific book of the Bible, using a single-volume commentary to help you as you work through it.
