Hi, that is a good question, and even though I have been a believer for many years now, I still don't have a great answer to where the best place to start is. But what I would recommend is to pray to God to reveal himself as you read the words. Reading the bible without the help of the holy spirit can sometimes be hard to understand and confusing, But with him he will make the words come alive and minister to your soul. I find starting with the gospel of John a good place to start for new believers as it focuses on the divinity of Jesus Christ. This can help you receive a revelation of who Jesus is: as God, the beginning and the end, the way, the truth and the life, the great I AM, the son of God, the promised Jewish Messiah, the WORD of God. Once you get those revelations, all other scripture becomes easier to grasp, in my opinion. The teachings of Paul come to life with this revelation. Good luck, and God bless you as you search for the truth in the Holy, inspired word of God.
