"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." John 15:7 · NIV

A Little About This Site

Just Someone Who Found the Word

I grew up in Asia with a Buddhist background. It was the faith of my family and my culture, and it was all I ever knew. When I moved to Australia, something changed. I came across the Gospel and slowly, quietly, I began to read the Bible and understand who Jesus is.

I am not a pastor or a theologian. I am just an ordinary person who came to faith and found that God's Word is alive. The more I read it, the more I wanted others to be able to read it too, freely and simply.

Word Abides is a small, simple website built to make the Bible easy to access for anyone. No fuss. No barriers. Just the Word, open and available to all.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9 · NIV

This verse means everything to me. I did not find God because I was good or religious enough. It was entirely His grace. That is why this site is open to everyone, regardless of background, religion or where you are in your faith journey. The gift is for all.

If you are new to the Bible, welcome. If you have read it your whole life, welcome. This place is for you.
