The speaker advises that anyone can open their Bible and read any part of it, as the Holy Spirit will use any portion of the Bible to encourage, help learn more about Him, convict and help grow.
In this conversation, the speaker encourages readers to engage with Scripture. They suggest starting with the Gospels of Matthew or John if you're just starting out, or the Old Testament if you're an experienced reader.
They explain that by reading Scripture, your mind can be purified and you can focus on the Lord. They then talk about the difference between reading and studying the Bible, suggesting that studying can help you get more out of the Bible.
Reading the Word of God is beneficial in many ways, but it gets even more exciting when one takes the time to study it. To do this, the speaker suggests asking oneself the 5 W's: who, what, when, where, and why.
