Each sincere Christian desires to have a more meaningful personal Bible study, to understand the Scriptures better. While learning the Bible is the joyful job of a life time, I'd like to offer several recommendations that can enrich your Scriptures studies.
Bible Studying or Bible Research
First, recognize that Bible reading and Bible study are both important, but different. In order to grow, you need to read the Bible every day as part of your time with God -- your devotions or quiet time. During this daily time with God I would recommend prayer, wide Bible reading, praise, thanksgiving, croyance, and meditation -- these are ways to reach out there to God with your spirit. Holy bible reading is one way of letting God refresh your spirit and speak to your mind.
If you really want to find out Bible, I recommend that you read broadly instead than narrowly. A new one-verse devotional may be quick, but it won't really help you understand the Bible. We try every morning to read one section from the Older Testament, one chapter from Psalms or Proverbs, and one chapter from the New Testament. In case I'm consistent, this will get myself through the Older Testament once each year and the New Testament twice. That's an example of broad reading and takes five to 10 minutes each day -- 15 minutes if the day's chapters are long.
But Bible reading in your daily devotions should be independent from your times of Bible examine. Let me explain.
Blocks of Time for In-Depth Holy bible Research
Bible research, instead of reading, concentrates on just one matter, Bible character, or book of the Bible for closer study.
For example , right now in the New Testament I am reading the Epistle to the Hebrews. I'm realizing that though I've read it many times, I need to dig in and determine what is actually really saying. That's where Bible study comes in. Scriptures study takes a longer block of uninterrupted time. Perhaps you'll set besides 30 to forty five minutes on Tuesday and Thursday nights for in-depth Scriptures study, or an hour on Saturday days before the family is up -- or perhaps longer. Blocks of time are important to Bible study.
Don't Forget the Most Important Step
It's possible to be so engrossed in Scriptures study that you forget the most significant purpose of Bible research. It's not Bible knowledge for the own sake nor having the ability to quote poems and recite orthodox doctrine. Ultimately, the purpose of Scriptures study is to learn what exactly the Bible teaches to enable you to apply its teachings to your life.
Possibly the simplest method to Bible study is to use the three basic initiatory Bible study questions to ask of a Bible passage:
What does it say? What did it mean to those reading it in Bible times? What does it mean to me personally as I keep pace with apply it to my life? My prayer that the Bible study leads to a heart that is tender to pay attention to the actual Spirit is saying to you through Scripture and a will that is determined to live out in your everyday life what you're learning.
