The Reason for Reading the Bible



What is the reason 
for reading the bible?

When reading the Bible ...


When reading the Bible, one should start from the cover of the Bible and the table of contents.  Then, he should read in detail starting from the first book of the Old Testament, Genesis 1:1.  He must pray before and after reading. The words he read must remain in his heart, and he must think about those words as if he is breathing them. The words of the Bible are the teachings of God, and they are the true food for one’s mind (heart).

The Bible explains who recorded the books, whose sons they are (lineage), and the content of what they saw and heard from God.  By reading from the first to the last chapters, one can understand the content of the book.

Whenever someone reads or hears the Word, he must do so based on the 5 'Wh's and 1 H—meaning, he must always think, “Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How” when reading the Word.

God is in the “heavens,” while the people (entities) who appear throughout the content of the Bible are mostly the chosen people on “earth.” Those who saw and heard the things from God were the people who recorded the Bible (prophets, and others).  And “I” (the one reading the Bible) am the one who reads the words recorded by those who heard and saw the things from God.

The reason for reading the Bible is to know what God and the prophets spoke about (the content). When the reader comes across content he does not understand or cannot know, he must make separate notes of those verses.

3. "Attitude when 
reading the Bible"


The Word since the beginning is referred to as “the Way,” (Jn 1:1), 
because it is the path to heaven. 
Just as there are laws (national and international laws) in this world, there are laws 
in the kingdom of heaven as well—the Holy Bible (refer to Jn 12:48; Rv 20:12).

■ Attitude when reading the Bible

What kind of attitude should a reader have when reading the Bible? 

What is recorded in the Bible are not words of man, such as the kings and presidents of the world. 

Therefore, the reader must read each word carefully and write it in the tablet of his heart.  

Furthermore, one must read the words of the Bible with a heart of prayer and faith, as if he is seeing God Himself.

2. "Bible Meaning"


 The Meaning of “Bible” 


Meaning of “Bible”: The Bible is also referred to as “the Holy Scriptures,” and it is a collection of 66 books.  The Bible is divided into the Old Testament (39 books) and the New Testament (27 books).  The names of the people who recorded the books and the number of the chapters of each book can also be found.

Why is the Bible called, “the Holy Scriptures?”

Although it is recorded by man, God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, spoke to them and showed them what to write.

Because what are recorded are God’s words, it is called the Holy Scriptures, the Bible.

 Biblical Knowledge


The Word since the beginning is referred to as “the Way,” (Jn 1:1), because it is the path to heaven.

Just as there are laws (national and international laws) in this world, there are laws in the kingdom of heaven as well—the Holy Bible (refer to Jn 12:48; Rv 20:12).

Just as there are people who are knowledgeable and who are ignorant in the world, there are those who are knowledgeable and those who are ignorant in the world of faith as well.

God said, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge,” (Hos 4:6).
This knowledge is referring to the knowledge of the words in the Bible.

That is why if the one, due to his lack of Biblical knowledge, adds or takes away from Revelation he will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Thus, if you do not know the Bible, you must learn!

Shincheonji Q: God’s last prophecy of Bible?



The Words of the
 Prophecies Recorded 
in the Bible 

Shincheonji Q: God’s last prophecy in the Bible?

The words recorded in the Bible can largely be categorized into four parts, which are history, moral teachings, prophecy, and fulfillment. 




A prophecy is a promise made between God and man. Even if one keeps the commandments found in history and moral teachings, he would not be able to keep what has been fulfilled if he does not know the meaning of the prophecy (promise). 

This is why one must know the prophecies and their fulfillment.

God’s prophecies in the last 6,000 years of the Bible history have always been fulfilled accordingly. 

Since God surely fulfills every promise He makes, the saints of God also believe He will certainly fulfill all remaining prophecy. 

God’s last prophecy is the Book of Revelation in the New Testament!!
