The Bible and Growth.
 

 

Five ways are suggested to help you get a clearer grasp of the Bible and GOD’s purpose for your life. The depth of your spiritual life will be in direct proportion to the time you allow GOD to speak to you through the Scriptures.

 

 

  1. Hearing the Bible from godly pastors and teachers provides us insight into other’s study of the scriptures as well as stimulating our appetites for GOD’s Word. Rom. 10:17;Rev. 2:7, 17, 29

 

 

 

 

  1. Reading the Bible gives us an overall picture of GOD’s Word. Many find helpful a daily reading program, which takes them systematically through the Bible. Rev.1:3 ; I Tim. 4:13

 

 

 

 

  1. Studying the scriptures leads us into personal discoveries of GOD’s truths. Writing down these discoveries helps us organize and remember them better. Acts 17:11; II Tim. 2:15

 

 

 

 

  1. Memorizing GOD’s Word enables us to use Scriptures to overcome Satan and temptations…to have it readily available for witness or helping others with an encouraging word. Ps. 119:9, 11; Prov. 7:1-3.

 

 

 

 

  1. Meditation is the help to be used in conjunction with each of the other four methods. Only as we meditate on GOD’s Word-thinking of it’s meaning and application to our lives, will we discover its transforming power at work in us. Ps. 1:2,3; Josh. 1:8; I Tim.4:15.
