How I Mark My Bible 

I've been underlining, highlighting and making annotations in my Bibles for over 20 years. The way I do it is simple but it works for me. Hopefully this video can help you or give you ideas. Below are the pens and pencils that I use. Here's my update 👉 • How I Mark My Bible 2

The ballpoint pens I use (0.7 or 0.5 work for me):
Blue: amzn.to/2VoMcQn
Red: amzn.to/2HkrZaH
Can't find green on Amazon right now...
The Pigma Microns 05 that I use:
amzn.to/2LIZwj2
The color pencils that I use:
amzn.to/2W6ubL1
amzn.to/2JGcrzF
amzn.to/2Vzwy9E
amzn.to/2VzytuS
The sharpies that I use (rarely but I do):
amzn.to/2LIlWRe
Sometimes it's hard to decide what color to use because the same verse, or even the same sentence inside a verse may have strong connections to other themes. It gets a bit subjective and I think it's also very personal. Every person relates to God and His Word in a very unique way.
Many times I underline with my Micron pens over the initial underlining with color pencils. I may for example underline a verse with baby blue with a color pencil and then underline it a second time with a red Micron, and so forth...
So it's not always very consistent and it may vary but generally speaking I can say:
1) I use red for everything that is directly related to the Cross of Christ or for passages that I esteem very central and important in biblical theology.
2) I use green for faith and hope related topics.
3) I use orange for law/morality related passages.
4) I use yellow for theophanies or God related texts.
5) I use violet or pink for sin and its consequences.
6) I use purple for Satan related passages.
7) I use blue for general passages that refer to Jesus or His Humanity.
8) I use brown sometimes (it's rare but I do) for passages that deal with the weakness of humanity.
I make my annotations based on parallel passages in the Bible that speak to the same theme. I find my verses, or related passages, through references in the Bible, concordances, Bible commentaries, Bible software, books, and memory. I always pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance so above all I believe He inspires me with special connections in Scripture.
