Reading a book of scripture from beginning to end
initiates the flow of living water into our lives
by introducing us to important stories, gospel doctrines,
and timeless principles.
This approach also enables us to learn
about major characters in the scriptures
and the sequence, timing, and context of events
and teachings.
Reading the written word in this way
exposes us to the breadth of a volume of scripture.
This is the first and most fundamental way
of obtaining living water.
