Practical Time in the Word

Living Life Add comments

Here is a list of some good practical suggestions from Bill Bright’s todayspromise.com on spending time in God’s word:

  • Begin with a prayer. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you an understanding of God’s Word.
  • Keep a Bible study notebook.
  • Read the text slowly and carefully; then reread and take notes.
  • Find out the true meaning of the text. Ask yourself:
    (a) Who or what is the main subject?
    (b) Of whom or what is the writer speaking?
    (c) What is the key verse?
    (d) What does the passage teach you about Jesus Christ?
    (e) Does it bring to light personal sin that you need to confess and forsake?
    (f) Does it contain a command for you to obey?
    (g) Does it give a promise you can claim?
  • List practical applications, commands, promises.
  • Memorize the Scriptures – particularly key verses.
  • Obey the commands and follow the instructions you learn in God’s Word.
