HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
This is a practical and simple guide to begin the new year as you focus on how the Word Became Human (John 1:14). God sent Jesus for a reason. Throughout this guide, you will discover 31 reasons Jesus came into this world in human form.
You can go through this guide individually or alongside others. It is designed to begin a healthy habit of reading God’s Word or to supplement what you are already learning through your daily time with the Lord. All you will need is a bible and about 5 minutes.
I recommend you PRAY, READ, THINK, PRAY
~ PRAY – Say a simple prayer of thanksgiving
~ READ – Read the reasons listed and the corresponding scriptures that support that reason
~ THINK – Consider the reason and its significance to us as Children of God and write down any thoughts you might have
