HOW TO DO YOUR OWN BIBLE STUDY

Copyright Rosemary Bardsley 2007
 
1: Pray for God’s help to understand his Word
2: Read the whole passage or chapter
3: Ask questions:

[Note : there may not be an answer to every question. That’s quite okay!]

Historical setting
Original readers or hearers
Original purpose
Father
Son
Spirit
Past
Present
Future

 

Is there a fact or promise for me to believe?
Is there a command for me to obey?
Is there an example to follow?
For my attitude to God
For my attitude to myself
For my attitude to others
For my attitude to my occupation
For my attitude to my circumstances and/or environment
4: Commit yourself to God to trust and obey what you have learned.
