You want to read through the Bible. That’s good. Here is my suggestion. Start your reading journey in the book of John. After that, read right on after John into the book of Acts. Put them together as one book.
Here’s why.
In John we are introduced to Jesus, who is the Word of God, who is the Light, who is the Son of God, who is the sacrificial Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, and who baptizes with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God. With Him, you are off to the best start there is. John 1:29-33
Then we see Jesus the miracle-worker. He turned the water into wine at a wedding party. This was the beginning of many different kinds of miracles which He did. This shows He is the Lord Jesus Christ you can believe in and trust for all things in your life. John 2:1-11
Then we see Jesus who lays the foundation of life in the kingdom of God. He teaches how a person must be born again. In this teaching He clearly explains that we are born into new life by the working of the Spirit of God. God does this because of His love for the world. In love, He sent out the Light, His only begotten Son. Jesus explains that mankind naturally runs from the Light, but if we stop and open our lives to that Light, we are assured that God will do His miraculous work in our life. John 3:1-21
Then we see Jesus the Christ, the Spirit-anointed One. From Him the living water flows by the Spirit of God. He teaches us that by the Spirit, we can share the life of the Father, and we can worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. By the Spirit, we have God’s power and God’s liberty. John 4:1-42
Then we see Jesus the healer, and He is our example of being dependent on the Father for all things. He teaches us that the scriptures point us to He Himself, who is the source of all life and healing. John 5
Then we see Jesus the provider. He provides food supernaturally (John 6:5-14), and He provides transportation supernaturally (John 6:21). This is in order to fulfill our God-given assignments. In all of this, Jesus teaches that to do the works of God, we are to “believe on him who he hath sent.” This is to believe on the Son of God who is sent to us by the Father. John 6:28-29
Then we see Jesus who is one with God the I AM (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14). We see how The Lord Jesus Christ is the seven-fold “I AM” for us today.
“I am the bread of life.” John 6:35, 48
“I am the light of the world.” John 8:12; 9:5
“I am the door of the sheep.” John 10:7-9
“I am the good shepherd.” John 10:11,14
“I am the resurrection and the life.” John 11:25
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6
“I am the true vine.” John 15:1,5
Then we see Jesus teaching us about the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself went back to heaven, but He sent the Holy Spirit to fill with God’s presence and help believers. All that Jesus is, is fulfilled in believers by the Spirit. By the power of the Spirit, believers are able to do the same works as Jesus, and greater works (John 14:12-14). Believers who abide in Christ, the anointed One, bear the fruit of God’s life and power in their lives. John 14,15,16
Then we see Jesus’ departure back to heaven, and we move into the book of Acts. Acts is the record of where all what Jesus did and taught starts to be fulfilled in the lives of the Spirit-anointed believers. In Acts we see how the Spirit will operate in our lives today as we receive and are led by the Spirit. It is the same Spirit that was upon Jesus in the flesh.
In conclusion, the book of John is the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ on the earth. The book of Acts is the record of the impartation and operation of the Spirit in and upon believers. The revelation of the life and power of Jesus in and through the believers on the earth by the Spirit, enables them to carry out the assignment of God to get the good news of Jesus out to the whole world. As we believe this Word of God enough to act on it just the way the early believers acted on it, we too will experience the same supernatural life and power of Jesus Christ as did the early church.
Once we have the same experiential revelation of Jesus Christ as the early church, by the same Spirit, Teacher and Guide as they had, then that same Holy Spirit will lead us in reading and acting on the rest of the Bible.
The Spirit authored the scriptures through the pen of about forty different writers. As we read John and Acts, and yield our life to be filled with the same Spirit in the same way as they were filled in the book of Acts, then the Teacher, the Spirit of God, will lead us in our Bible reading, study, and understanding. The Spirit will always point us to the Lord Jesus Christ and give us clarity, balance and simplicity in following and abiding in the Lord.
In our Bible reading, those pieces of the puzzle that we wonder about, how they fit together, if we will just lay them aside and act on what we do understand, in time we will know where those pieces fit in.
In all, we just trust Him. As we act on what we see and know, He will take us to the next step as we trust Him. His goal is to grow us up into the very image of the Lord Jesus Christ. It does not happen overnight. Positionally in Christ, by faith, we are complete in Him. Experientially, it is a life-time journey of faith, reproof and instruction in His righteousness.
We start with the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the living Word of God (John 1:1-3; Revelation 19:13). We move into the person and power of the Holy Spirit and into being led by the Spirit. As we are led by the Spirit, we will fulfill the assignment God gives to each of us. All this is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. And He is what reading the Bible is all about. It is about knowing the Lord Jesus Christ personally, and doing the will of the Father, and finishing our race with joy, unto the eternal glory of God the Father through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
