John 17:17, Joshua 1:8, Romans 15:4, John 15:7, 2 Timothy 2:15
How Can I Understand the Bible?
How can I understand the Bible today? How do I start? Where do I start? There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and that's okay because God is always speaking to us. However, He speaks to us differently, yet in a language and a love that we can all understand. So here are some things to do:
1. Pray Before You Read
When we invite God into our time of reading His Word, He will reveal things to us that we couldn't find on our own.
2. Know Why to Read
The goal of reading the Bible is to know God and what He is saying to you.
3. Question What You Read
God is okay with questions, but He's not always going to answer all of them.
4. Talk About What You Read
God speaks to us through His Word, but He also speaks to us through His people.
5. Do What You Read
God doesn't just want us to read His word but put it in action in His world.
6. You Won't Understand Everything You Read
We don't have to understand everything in the Bible to believe it because if I can understand everything about God, then would He be worthy of being God?
7. Use Tools When You Read
There are many tools accessible to us that we have no excuse not to understand the Bible. (Podcasts, YouTube, YouVersion, Apps, Internet, Translations, etc.) There are plenty of resources available that will help us understand the Bible better.
The primary way God speaks to us is through His Word.
