  Personal Bible Study Hints

Always begin your personal Bible reading and study time in prayer. Psalm 119:18

Take brief notes on what you read.  I keep a small notebook at hand.  I like those pretty journals you can get at the stores. Remember this is your quite time with God, tailor it to your own personal tastes and have fun.

Read slowly through a passage.  After you are through, ask yourself what it is about. then reread it.

  •  

    • what is the main subject of the passage

    • who are the persons revealed in this passage (who is speaking and about whom)

    • what is the key verse in the passage

    • what does this passage teach me about Jesus

    • is there a sin revealed to me

    • is there a command to obey

    • is there a promise to claim

    • what are the instructions I need to follow

    • Keep a spiritual diary.  I keep mine with my notes.  Write down convictions revealed to you and promises you claimed.  Keep track of things you pray for while in your Bible study.

    Memorize scripture.  Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...

    Obey the word of God. James 1:22 says "prove yourselves doers of the word and not merely hearers"   When you study the Bible God will reveal to you truths that are sometimes easy and sometimes hard.  Through it all we must obey.  Easier said than done, I know.  That is why we have prayer partners.

    II Timothy 3:16All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. ~NASB~
