A Simple Bible Reading Plan

Read through the OT just a few chapters a day. But with the NT, read it repetitiously.

Take a section of a book of the NT of about 7 chapters. There are 28 chapters in Matthew for example, so you take the first 7 chapters. Read those chapters everyday for 30 days. I guarantee you at the end of that month if you have thoughtfully read through those 7 chapters for a full month, you’re going to know what’s in those chapters. Month 2 – read the next seven and so forth.

At the end of four months, you will have committed the contents of the gospel of Matthew to memory. You can go to Mark then which is half the length of Matthew and do the same thing and then Luke and then John. If you go through the NT like that, in 2 and half years you will have literally absorbed what is in the NT and at the same time you just kind of reading chronologically through the OT.
