One-Year Bible Reading Plan  : Seekers & New Believers  | May: The Gospel of Grace and the Foundations of Faith 

Welcome & Greeting Message

Welcome to May!

Congratulations on reaching Month 5 of your Bible reading journey! Building a daily habit of spending time with God is a wonderful milestone, and every step forward is worth celebrating.

This month, we dive deep into two of the most significant and practical letters in the New Testament: Romans (May 1 – May 13) and 1 Corinthians (May 14 – May 29), followed by the beginning of 2 Corinthians (May 30 – May 31):

• The Book of Romans: Answers core questions like "Why do we need salvation?", "What is true faith?", and "How does God view us?" You will discover that God’s love is not something we earn through perfection—it is a free gift of grace.

• 1 Corinthians: Addresses practical real-life challenges with spiritual wisdom, featuring the famous "Love Chapter" (Chapter 13).

As you read these letters, don't feel rushed by complex concepts. Before reading each day, offer a brief prayer: "Lord, open my heart today to see Your deep love and acceptance for me through Your Word." Let's keep moving forward together!

Monthly Highlights

Key Themes for May:

• Grace and Justification by Faith: Understand how we are accepted by God and freed from guilt (Romans 3–5).

• Unshakeable Love: Experience one of the most comforting promises in Scripture—that nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8).

• The Way of Love: Discover the true nature of God's unconditional love (1 Corinthians 13).

2. Reflect on Key Verses: Try reflecting deeply on verses like Romans 8:38–39 or 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 throughout your day.

3. Read with Ease: Treat these letters like personal mail written to encourage and guide your life.
