The use of the Bible by ChristiansThe sacred book of Christianity is namely the Bible. It is used both in public worship and the Bible is also used for worship alone, such as personal devotions. The Bible is used in many ways in public worship. In a number of non-conformist churches, the Bible is brought into the church and placed on the pulpit at the front of the church to signify that the service is about to begin. Often worshipers rise from their seats respectfully when the Bible is brought. Similarly, in Greek Orthodox churches, respect is shown by carrying the book of the Gospels in procession before the Bible readings are actually given. During readings from the Gospels of the Bible in Anglican and Roman Catholic churches, the congregation will be a mark of reverence. Again, in many non-conformist churches the Bible is used as a call to worship, the minister of the church will read a verse or two that has something to say. talk about the goodness and faithfulness of God. Sometimes a Bible verse is also read at the end of a service as a closing prayer. In nonconformist churches, too, it is common for a passage from the Bible to be read as an introduction to communion. Often these verses are Mark 14:22-26. Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, this is my body,” then he took the cup, offered thanks, and gave them to drink, “this is my blood.” , he says Another familiar verse to read before communion is Corinthians 11:23-29 Short passages from the Bible are also read during worship, either by the minister or by the person leading the service, but sometimes. by a member of the congregation By tradition, during each service there is normally a reading from the Old and New Testaments. Many churches use a lectionary, this is a set of readings. assigning particular passages to each Sunday according to the year..
