Some
Rules For Bible Study
Study the Bible in
order to be able to rightly divide it. (II Timothy 2:15.)
Study the Bible
understanding that it contains the mind and will of God. (II Peter 1:21.)
Study the Bible
reverently and humbly. (I Thessalonians 2:13.)
Study the Bible
accepting all that it says. Believing only a part of the Bible is not pleasing
to God. (John 12:48.)
Study the Bible trying
to learn what it has to say. Have your heart and mind open to what God has to
say. (Revelation 2:11.)
Study the Bible with
an honest desire to learn more of God's will for your life. (John 5:39-40.)
Study the bible with a
willingness to obey what God has commanded. (Luke 6:46.)
Study the Bible with
common sense. Common sense tells us that the Lord meant water when He said
water in John 3:5.
Study the Bible daily.
Read it often. (Acts 17:11.)
Study the Bible is a
systematic way learning all that God has to say. (Psalms 119:10-16.)
Study the Bible by
asking "who is speaking?" Is it a fool or an inspired man? (Psalms
14:1.)
Study the Bible asking
to whom a statement is made. Is this something God said to an alien sinner or
to Christians? Example: John 16:13 was a promise to the apostles only.
Study the Bible by
giving it priority over television, radio, etc. (Matthew 6:33.)
Study the Bible with a
definite purpose to know Christ, become like Him and obey His will. (Matthew
7:21.)
