What Is Your Favorite Book of the Bible?

[Scripture More Accurately]

Many Christians have one book of the Bible that is their favorite book that they read over and over more than any other book of the Bible.

If you have such a book, what is it and why is that book your favorite book?

If you know the exact number of times that you have read that book or can make a good guess, how many times have you read that book in your life?

Psalms is my favorite book of the Bible.

I read through the book of Psalms twenty-five times in 2012 and have read the book through 53 times in the last 10 years.

I have read the book of Psalms at least 78 times in my life and have just started reading it through for the 4th time this year.

Seasons of life and book I am studying effects the book I most am drawn to.

In season of grieving, I am drawn to Job, Habakkuk and the Psalms of mourning.

When studying the life of Jesus, I am often drawn to Johns gospel.

At present I am studying Romans and am amazed at Paul's apologetic skills as he unveils argument for the gospel being for all peoples, not just Jews. His Jewish, rabbinical skills are on full display. It's a masterpiece.

1 John is my favorite. It runs almost like a test of salvation, and builds up the believers.

For some reason in the epistles the letter that I tend to read the most is Romans.

When I need encouragement from the Lord about who He has made me to be and how much He loves me, I read all of the epistles ( especially Ephesians ), and several others including 1 John.
I've spent much time over the years in the Psalms for comfort when I'm hurting, and much time in Romans for doctrine and guidance on other subjects....
I've probably been through Romans more than 50 times, if not over 100 ( I've lost count ), the Psalms well over 30 if not much more.


I'm amazed that God would bother to extend His grace and mercy to me through His Son,
and to preserve His words for me and others like me to take comfort in ( Romans 15:4 ).

I have favorite books and parts of the Bible. Select Bible references. But we need the whole Bible. FYI of the book I select John's gospel account.

The purpose of the gospel of John is the purpose of the gospel. And reveals God in Christ.

I would have to say Romans is my favorite book of the Bible and Paul is my favorite apostle. The book of Romans tells us about Pauls struggle with sin and warned us it would be a struggle. He told us how to be saved and what it meant to be so. Paul was definitely the apostle to the Gentiles. Even though many Jews were saved because of his testimony. He suffered greatly for his testimony.

FYI of the book I select John's gospel account.

The purpose of the gospel of John is the purpose of the gospel. And reveals God in Christ.

18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Jn 1

IMO, the Revelation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ is one of the major, if not the most major theme of the Bible.

I was looking for a book that would discuss the state of the believing church, easy to apply for today and thus settled on 1 Corinthians. I have read that book at least 45 times since last Dec. 1st. I have at last count 23 stand alone commentaries on it. I don't want to say it's my favorite book but I have read and studied it a lot. And still I'm ignorant on this book.

I would have to say John, followed by Revelation.

John is so exact in His choice of words, the accounts of Christ he shares, and the total devotion displayed in both his accounts of what he witnessed.

Goes back and forth between Romans and James.

Goes back and forth between Romans and James.

13 for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: Ro 2

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. Ja 1

 

[Guvnuh]

Sometimes Hebrews, sometimes John’s Gospel, others Romans, Ephesians or Colossians.

most often come back to John.

 

[Bassoonery]

Definitely the Psalms for my current season of life.

Overall I have always had a soft spot for Ecclesiastes.
