The Bible teaches that God is the source of wisdom and the Bible is a tool for learning wisdom. Chapter 1 in the book of Proverbs tells us to seek wisdom.
"The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
2 to know wisdom and instruction;
to discern the words of understanding;
3 to receive instruction in wise dealing,
in righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 to give prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young man— "

3.Introduce them to the how the Bible is organized:
- Books, chapters, and verses.
- Two parts: The Old Testament and the New Testament.
- Table of contents and Index or Concordance.
- History before the birth of Christ, and after the birth of Christ.
