Which Version For Me?


Listen Later

Our Verse: Psa 119:11 Thy Word I have hidden in my heart that I don't sin against you.

You say, “I want to follow God. I'd like to know about Him and what He expects from me. I get it that the Bible is His Book. So WHICH Bible is right for me?”

First, some facts...
God wants to communicate with you.
Jesus came and explained much about Himself and the Father.
Finally, the whole story of God, Jesus and man was recorded in the Bible!

Since there are many different kinds of people and languages, He tailored His message to meet the needs of all people, and to different time periods. That's why, today... we have many different versions.

Okay okay, Jim...I got it! But what about me?
How do I pick?

If you are alone and have only one Bible, go ahead...read it. God will lead you.
If you can choose a Bible:
Find a version you can understand...
Hold on Jim! What is a version?!
OK a definition-
A Bible version is a translation of ancient documents or older bible texts by a group of people or an individual who want to produce a new, more understandable Bible.
Bible translators help adapt God's message to their times.

Now where were we?
Find a VERSION you can understand. Some are written for people with big vocabularies, some for those with smaller ones. Nothing wrong with starting with a more simple version.
If you have a friend who follows God, ask about a version that will work for you. He or she may have an extra Bible or know where you can get one. Many churches will give you a free Bible, hopefully in a version you can understand and enjoy.

Many Bible versions are available on the Web. Some are free and come in many languages. You can read online or download to your device.

I started just like you. It's a great God adventure, so dont wait! Get a Bible and start reading today!
