According to Bible Gateway, these are the top 12 most read Bible verses.  If you want to see the top 100 Scripture verses, go to www.biblegateway.com.  Although the Bible is 2000 to 4000 years old, it is still the original book and it remains the best selling book of all time.  To some, especially those who rarely read the Bible, it may appear outdated or boring.  However, the Bible is still applicable today just as it was in the days of the early Christians. 

I remember my brother was having trouble with mold in the old apartment building where he lived.  I opened up the Bible and actually found a passage (Leviticus 14:37-48) describing how to get rid of mold!  Are you building a new home?  Read Ephesians 5.  Are you getting married?  Read Proverbs 5.  Are you establishing a business?  Read Ecclesiastes 5.  Are you planning your budget?  Read Mark 4.  If you want a guide to life, read the ten commandments in Exodus.  The Bible is a lot more practical than we realize. 

Furthermore, the Bible has so many genres of writing.  If you prefer practical advice, read Proverbs.  If you like poetry, read the Psalms or the Song of David.  If you like geneology, read Matthew.  If you want to learn about the parables of Jesus,  read Matthew or Luke.  If you like history, read 1 Samuel or Kings.  If you are fascinated with creation, read Genesis. 

Yes, the Bible offers something for everyone.  Far from being a boring, outdated book, it is a well-written and fascinating read.  If only you open it up.  And what's the best benefit of all?  By reading its pages, you grow closer to the Author.
