How to Color Code Your Bible Study Part 1

It is important to read the Bible to grow as a Christian. However, with 66 books it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The Bible is not a book that you read one time and then you are done. It is more like a manual guide for life... as you come across certain issues, you flip through the pages to find a solution. The more we read the Bible, the more we can function in the manner our manufacturer, God, designed us to operate.

Taking a hint from the name of my blog, you know that I like colorful things. I decided to amp up my Bible so that I can study it effectively through you guessed: color!

One way that I did that is my using tabs on the first page of each book in the Bible. The tabs I used are special because each color represents a different style of writing. The first color is red and all the red tabs represent books with laws in them. The second color, yellow, represents history. The third color, which looks like a sea green to me, represents poetic books of the Bible. The fourth color is lime and it represents the writings of the major and minor prophets. The fifth color is blue and it represents the gospels. The last color is green and it represents church history, letters, and prophecy.

By using these tabs, not only can I quickly find a book (I am thankful all of the names are spelled out) but I can understand what type of writing I am reading. By incorporating color, Bible study will be more fun. There is another way of incorporating color into my Bible that I plan on sharing on the blog at another time. Stay tuned for more Bible study tips!

Do you use tabs on your Bible pages? If so, do you have a color coding method that you use?
