There
are as many different ways to study the Bible as there are people. Each of
us has our own unique approach to the Word of God.
Some of
these methods are effective. Some are not.
If your
method is not serving you well, or if you are looking for a way to go
deeper into God’s word, then How
to Study the Bible is for you.
Do you hunger for the things of God?
Do you long to know Jesus in the fullest way possible?
Are you ever unsure about God’s will for your life?
Have you been told to read the Bible in a year, but have
not been able to do so?
Do you find verses that seem to contradict what you
read earlier?
Do you find passages that seem to contradict what
someone has been trying to share with you?
Do you
ever wonder where preachers come up with some of their stuff?
These
are common questions. The Bible has the answer—if you know how to look.
In How to Study the Bible you will learn:
Ø about the types of Bibles available for in-depth study
Ø which translation you should
use
Ø how to use a cross-reference
system
Ø how to read the Bible to hear
what God is saying to you
Ø how to use a topical Bible
Ø how to use an exhaustive
concordance for word study
Ø how to access the many
electronic tools available
Ø why it may not be wise to try
to read the Bible all the way through in a certain amount of time.
I have spent
years observing and helping people with their desire to know the Word of
God. I have now put some of the basic strategies into this little book. I
hope the ideas presented in this study will help you as they have helped
others.
May the Lord bless His Word to
your heart.
