Biblical Overview
Core Teachings
Why Study the Bible?
The Bible is God's inspired, inerrant Word—the ultimate authority for Christian faith and practice. Through Scripture, God reveals Himself, His plan of salvation, and how we should live. Bible study isn't just academic exercise; it's encountering the living God who speaks to us today through His Word.
The Power of God's Word
- Transforms Lives: "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12)
- Guides Our Path: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105)
- Equips for Life: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16)
- Produces Faith: "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17)
How to Approach Bible Study
- Pray First: Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate Scripture and open your heart to receive truth
- Read in Context: Understand the historical setting, original audience, and literary genre
- Observe Carefully: Notice repeated words, themes, and key phrases
- Interpret Accurately: Let Scripture interpret Scripture; compare passages
- Apply Personally: Move from "what does it say?" to "how should I live?"
The Bible's Unified Message
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one cohesive story: God's redemptive plan to reconcile humanity to Himself through Jesus Christ. The Old Testament anticipates Christ's coming; the New Testament reveals His arrival and establishes His Church. Every book, every chapter points to Jesus—the Word made flesh.
Essential Bible Study Principles:
- The Bible interprets itself—Scripture is its own best commentary
- Context is crucial—never isolate verses from their surrounding text
- Christ is central—all Scripture ultimately points to Jesus
- Truth transforms—proper interpretation leads to life application
- The Spirit guides—depend on Him for understanding and wisdom
Building a Bible Study Habit
Consistent Bible engagement is essential for spiritual growth. Start with just 10-15 minutes daily. Choose a time and place where you can focus without distractions. Use a reading plan to work through books systematically rather than randomly jumping around. Take notes, ask questions, and journal what God is teaching you. Remember: the goal isn't to finish quickly but to encounter God deeply.
