How to Study the Bible

Think back to the time when you got your first Bible. Maybe a family member gave it to you when you were a child. Or maybe you bought your first Bible when you were an adult. How much do you love your Bible? Is it one of your most precious belongings? Or do you need to force yourself to read it? Do you sometimes wonder, “How do I read this Book to grow close to God in my heart? Where do I start?”

Martin Luther said, “Many years ago, I started reading the whole Bible two times a year. I want to read every verse to learn everything it can teach me.”

Some of you may study the Bible every day. But other people leave their Bible on a shelf and hardly open it. For sure, we all can develop better Bible study skills. This week, we’ll look at how we can get more from our study time with God. We will learn ways to study the Bible better.
