LDS Scripture: New Testament
A collection of inspired writings (originally in Greek) about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and other followers of Jesus Christ. The New Testament is commonly divided into the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, Paul’s epistles, the general epistles, and the book of Revelation.
The four Gospels—the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are accounts of the life of Christ. The book of Acts records the history of the Church and the Apostles, especially Paul’s missionary travels, after Christ’s death. Paul’s letters give instruction to Church leaders and members. The other letters were written by other Apostles and give additional counsel to the early Saints. The book of Revelation, which was written by the Apostle John, contains mostly prophecies pertaining to the last days.

First time reading the whole new testament. Read it/ listened to it over the course of the year with my family.

What a good experience this has been to read The New Testament again! I love the scriptures, and we are studying this book of scripture in Sunday School this year, so this was my goal. My confession is that I still consider the four gospels my favorites! They speak to my heart. I love the beautiful wording, the very feeling I get in reading the treasured, familiar words. I feel close to the Savior as I read those sacred words.
I do say that it was verybsatisfyingnto come across Many other familiar doctrinal passages while reading the other books. I particularly had my eyes opened to a new appreciation for the book of Revelation. A gospel scholar I admire gave some insight into understanding that book, and I'm thankful for that. I am so glad to have read this wonderful book of scripture again!

All the scriptures are good, but this one always sticks with my :)

This year I focused my reading on Christ, The Father, and the Holy Ghost. This is a powerful witness of them.

I have loved studying and reading the New Testament this year and coming to know and love Jesus Christ more through this text. I love the way it ends. John says, “Even so, come Lord Jesus.” (Revelations 32:20). Yes—come!

Loved reading this in 2019. Learned so much!!

(2019)I have loved really studying the New Testament more than ever before. Combining it with the excellent resource, "Come, Follow Me," put out by our church, it has been a great journey of coming to know and love my Savior more than ever before.
(2023) Another great year of studying the New Testament in depth. I'm grateful for new insights and understandings as I have studied the life of Christ and his Apostles.

Some very-most favorites from reading this year...
Matthew 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Luke 15, whole chapter .... especially verse 32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Luke 4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Colossians 3:12-17 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. ~John 16:12-22
I have read the New Testament a number of times previously, but because I wasn't able to travel or welcome visitors for the holidays this year, I decided to reread The New Testament as my personal celebration. Perhaps because of the difficulty of this year, the fact that I read it in just two months and the doctrine penetrated more deeply, or personal challenges that softened my heart and made me more open to the message of hope it offers -- but this experience was one I hope never to forget.
This allegorical promise, that as much as we may pursue happiness, and peace, and joy -- which we find fleeting and illusive, there will be sorrow. The Savior's role was not to make our short life on Earth free from anguish -- but to swallow it up forever, so that when we see him again, and recognize this supernal gift on our behalf, we will rejoice and have everlasting joy. I have seen the joy of a new mother in the seconds after they have given birth. I have cried at the miracle of it. I've contemplated what everlasting joy would look and feel like. I've tried to imagine it. I think it's hard for my temporal mind to even hold on to the idea of eternal joy, but I am so thankful. I am so thankful for the hope that there is a way. But after all we can do to love and serve one another, to forgive, to repent, and to follow His example -- it is an inestimable gift of His grace that gives us hope.

The New Testament is a wonderful book of scripture. One I set out to read cover to cover in the year of 2023.
To learn first hand from the Gospels of what Christ did while on this earth is truly amazing . It has strengthened my faith in him and testimony that he lives.
For everyone who hasn't read it, I invite you to read it, for those who have , let the words within it sink into your soul as I know it will have an effect on your life for good!

The New Testament is full of teachings about our Savior. I love being able to understand more about Him and the context of His ministry. This time reading it, I also felt more connection with the early church and the struggles the apostles had of keeping Christ’s church from falling into apostasy. I love all of the truth that is shared in this book.

This year I read the New Testament in conjunction with the Come Follow Me curriculum/manual. I was drawn to the many witnesses of Christ and of his mission to heal, help, and save us all. I was particularly impressed with the writings of Paul this time. His enthusiastic missionary efforts inspired me in a new way this time around. Love the Bible.

Started keeping records in 1991. Since then this is the 15th time to complete the New Testament. Learn something new every time. It's always wonderful to read about Jesus Christ and what He has done for us.

Just finished reading with the "Come Follow Me" and I have a new love for The New Testament and all the truth that is in it. I have come to understand so many things that have benefited my life and my family's.

This year was my first year reading this, end to end. (Maybe I read it for seminary in high school but if I can’t remember, it probably doesn’t count.) Outside study guides were definitely helpful. I learned so much, and I’m excited to read it again. Someday😆

A privilege to study the NT in depth this year with so many amazing scholarly commentaries by my side. I learned and grew so much. The NT carried me through some of the darkest and painful months of my life this year.
January 18, 2020
I read most of this in 2019 and finally finished up John's Revelation. The gospels with the stories of Jesus are always wonderful, and this latest time thru I definitely got a lot more insight and inspiration from Paul's writings and the other apostle letters in the 2nd half of the book.
February 6, 2020
I have never read this book of scripture with such close and careful consideration, and in it's entirety. I'm very glad to have taken the time to study it's teachings. My life is much better for it. I highly recommend it to any who seek to understand the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

So grateful to have finished The New Testament again last week. My knowledge of Christ grows each time I read it.
My previous read was in October last year, when I read it in three weeks. Also an amazing experience, unlike any I've ever had.

I had the privilege of teaching the New Testament this year to 18 amazing high school students (two of which were my own kids) in Early Morning Seminary for my church. I loved every minute of it. My testimony of and love for my Savior Jesus Christ grew so much.
December 29, 2023
Spaced out over the year, it was inspiring to see more of the life of Christ and the incredible courage of the early followers who stood fast and were faithful, despite institutions quashing them...some were indefatigable.
December 31, 2023
I finished per my tradition on New Years Eve by the fire.
The last chapter summarizes well in verse 17 where it says “Come”.
Come to Christ, Follow Him. Find peace in Him. The New Testament is a book of love and hope.

Infinite stars. Let Jesus’ ministry and Resurrection and His ancient apostolic witnesses touch your life and you will never be the same. Combined with the Book of Mormon this incredible collection of books is a witness of the reality of the Living Christ.

Finished this morning. Spent this year heavily studying the NT in conjunction with 2019 Come Follow Me. Best study of the NT so far!
