Many who begin to study the bible may read it with lack of understanding. One of the best ways to study the bible is to begin with prayer asking for guidance and direction. Then to begin is to know who the creater, the most high god's name and purpose. To read about the creator begin with the book of Genesis. Understand the God who wrote the bible and why would he create earth for humans and animals.
Read the scriptual account in Genesis when man was created by God and Jesus Christ before he came to earth. It is written in the bible at Genesis 2:4 "This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven." Next to understand the creation by subject matter, the creation of man and woman. What was to be the role of the man and woman in relation to Almighty God's plan? The next thing to study would be how sin and death came to mankind. Take time to meditate on why man was given this command not to eat from the "tree of knowledge of good and bad." Man only had one command to obey Genesis 3:16 " And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die." Keep in mind that Adam was perfect without sin and how by the one act of disobedience meditate how it effected the entire human race. To this day has man been able to understand why we grow old and die. Again, take time to meditate on this subject and try to understand the relationship between Almighty God and his creation,Adam,Eve, and the Angel who became an adversary to Almighty God and his purpose for mankind. The word perfect means by the dictionary "entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings" This parent to all of mankind as well as the adversary angel who became known as Satan was created perfect, both with free will which is defined as "free and independent choice; voluntary decision." Meditate on this thought how one act of disobedience from both caused the chaos that all of mankind face today. The mark of inherited sin that leads to imperfection.
Follow the history of the Israelites and try to understand from the beginning when Adam sinned that Almighty God put into place a seed that would remove mankind from sin. Read the bible daily to understand how the Israelites were chosen to be the nation that this seed would
