ONLINE BIBLES

Renewal Ministries Fellowship is committed to the Word of God and to making it accessible to all. As part of this commitment we have uploaded the following versions/languages of the Bible onto our site so you can freely read the whole Bible online. We also provide links on this page to other Bible websites and audio Bible sites.

Multitudes do not have their own Bible. If that is true for you or members of your congregation do not allow this lack to hinder your learning of the scriptures or growth in Christ. Even if just one person in your village has a mobile phone that can access the internet you can read the scriptures online and have everyone repeat it over and over until you have memorised that portion. Then go on to memorise the next.

In Jesus' time learning took place orally between a rabbi and his disciples.  It was through memorization that Jesus and His disciples learnt the scriptures as children. Memorization continued to be important throughout Jesus’ ministry because people did not have their own copy of the Scriptures, Jesus didn’t write books or give handouts and the disciples didn’t take notes or have a digital recording device.  It is memorization which allowed these words to pass from one generation to the next without their being lost. Memorization is what preserved the teachings of our Master for us so that it could be written down a generation or more after it was transmitted. Memorization was a key component in being a good disciple. It should still be seen as having this value for us today.

Most of the time when Jesus or His disciples quoted Scripture it was from memory as they did not have it in front of them to read.  Jesus did not have a set of scrolls with Him when he answered each of the Devil’s temptations with scripture – such were kept in the Synagogue and Jesus was out in the wilderness with nothing but what He had hidden in His heart. 

As we don’t know what tomorrow holds it is wise for every one of us to learn and memorise as much of the Scriptures as we can – God’s Word can help us remain secure in Christ through the darkest times.   Memory is enhanced by reciting aloud, a practice still widely used in Middle Eastern education. Constant repetition was considered to be an essential element of learning in Jesus’ time and can still help us learn the scriptures today.
