“Redeem The Time”

God has given unto us the words of life—words that give us peace and happiness and a state of blessedness, and heaven in the hereafter. As a thirsty man desires water, so a lover of God yearns for His words. God, for our own good, wants His people to be a Bible reading people: “Give attendance to reading” (I Tim. 4:13; see also: Col. 4:16; I Thes. 5:27). Below is an estimation of the time required to read each book of the New Testament. It would be good to schedule a daily time to read. Yet, if “too busy,” then the next time you “find time on your hands,” pick a book to fill the gap—it could be no more wisely spent.
