Reading the Bible has been an anchor to my soul and spirit over the years of my life. I’ve read it from cover-to-cover too many times to count. I’ve wondered at those who say they only read the New Testament and/or only portions of the Old Testament. Why is it important to read it entirely, you may ask. To use an analogy: when I met my husband, prior to and after I married him, I wanted to know his history, his family, his experiences, his way of living, his joys and sorrows, everything. This is what the whole of scripture does for us. It acquaints us with the person of the Bible pages, Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
