Entire Bible Reading Tracker
I have added an audio Bible to my daily routine. It is truly life changing, but sometimes it can be a little overwhelming. These trackers are designed to be printed out and checked off as needed.
(printing them on colored paper makes them more fun!)
I included both a one page and a large print version. The Old Testament is three pages long and the New Testament is a single page. Happy Reading!
Chesed Reading Plan
My favorite word is “Lovingkindness”. It is made up by Bible translators that come from the Hebrew word “chesed”. It means: “unmerited favor towards a covenant partner.” It appears about 250 times in the Bible, and this is a complete list of every verse it is in.
It is long, and without context it can be confusing so take as much time as you need. When I went through the list, (in NIV which it is never translated lovingkindness, opting instead for ‘enduring love’ a majority of the time,) it took me about 2.5 hours. It may take you weeks. It is not a race, it is a resource.
If you are studying covenants in the Bible right now, I hope this is the cherry on top to your study! If you never have heard of a covenant before, I hope this causes you to dig deeper! It will change your life!
Agapē Reading Plan
A little about the word “Agapē”:
The word means "unconditional love," and has two forms. One is used as a noun and the other a verb, so it changes slightly when it is given or received. This does not change the definition, just the grammar.
Agapē appears approximately 115 times in 106 verses in the Bible, while the word Agapaō appears about 145 times in 110 verses.
Most commonly translated as some form of the word "love," they are also translated as "beloved," and "charity."
I hope you see how God reveals His character through this word, and that you begin to understand how deeply He cares for you.
"The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again." John 10:17
