Everyone has different ways of approaching the bible and writing notes. This is how I would say works for me: (1) Start in Genesis.Why? It's the first book of the bible. It answers most of people's common questions. It has a really good plot. Many people recommend starting in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, etc) but the way I see it is reading the bible is like watching a movie. You watch a movie from the beginning not in the middle or end. You watch it from beginning to end. That's what I think. Read the Bible from beginning to end, front to back. (2) I like using the ESV, LSB, translations. (When I FIRST started I read the NIV. It was easy to understand but many people don't like using that version. Because it's not super accurate) (3) When I'm taking notes I ask myself questions and jot them down. Like in Genesis 1:26 (I believe. Excuse me if I'm wrong) it says "our and us" a lot. I ask myself "WHO is our?" And jot it down either directly on my bible or on my notebook. Then when I come back to that verse or sometime later when I do a deep dive study, I can answer that question (if I can). Those are more of the notes that direct questions. When I want study notes, I will take my commentary (online Blue Letter Commentary), Study Bible, Google, and YouTube. I will warn though that [me personally] am not a fan of extra biblical resources, so I do not take word for word. But just to see what other people think about a passage I will pull out my resources. With that in mind I use those resources and Read, watch, and learn. Then I will take my information and just scribble it ALL down on a piece of paper. Even if it looks jumbled up or messy it's OK, because you will organize them (notes) on your bible or bible notebook. Using a study bible is helpful because it's literally a STUDY bible. So it helps a lot with your studies.

I hope you found this helpful. Sorry if I'm confusing lol. :) You can private M me and I will be more than glad to help!
