A bible color-coding system makes it quick and easy to find passages on particular topics. As you know the bible isn't categorized like a textbook. Implementing a system is helpful when you are in need of inspiration, encouragement, or just a word from the Bible.

Like Proverbs for example has a lot of wisdom but this system makes it easy for me to find scriptures on parenting in Proverbs. Although bible verses on parenting may not be important to you. Deciding which categories are important to you will help make bible note-taking easier.


How to Color Code Your Bible


For almost two years I've used my faith journal for my bible note-taking. Along with bible mapping and bible journaling. But now I feel as though it is time for me to expand my bible note taking to include a bible color-coding system. Easily finding bible verses on prayer, Holy Spirit, marriage is important to my spiritual journey.

Creating a table of content on an index card is a great way to keep up with your bible color-coding system. You may find it helpful to also use tabs, washi tape, or transparent sticky notes to mark pages where you've highlighted important text.

I use Mr. Pen highlighter to color code my bible. I do like their highlighters, but they were not created for highlighting your bible. If you are new to color coding your bible, I would definitely recommend purchasing bible highlighters.
