When we read the Bible we should be open to ask some questions about what we are reading. In doing this we will get so much more out of the time we have spent with God.
Just take a chapter in the Bible that seems interesting to you. Or you may be reading through the Bible in a systematic fashion. Whatever the case, as you read, here are some questions you might enjoy searching out the answers for.
1. What is the chapter about?
2. Who is talking and to whom is it written?
3. Why was it written? What is the purpose of the chapter?
4. What do we learn about God, ourselves and others?
5. What promises, insights, commands, warnings, and encouragements do we see?
6. How can we apply these findings to our lives today.
You can shorten these questions to what we used to ask in the journalism profession.
Who
What
Where
Why
When and
How.
If you are willing to answer these questions, your Bible study will change dramatically. Happy studying..... always, Sue
