Spiritual Discipline: Bible Study
The Bible is divine revelation. God’s own word to us. It reveals who God is, who we are and why we are here. Through Bible study we gain insights into God, human nature, and creation. Studying the Scriptures can equip, guide, and reveal how to live in life-giving ways that deepen our friendship with God and others. Both Old and New Testaments encourage regular study, meditation, contemplation, and memorization of God’s Word. The benefits of Bible study are directly related to how open, attentive, and obedient we are to what we read.
The discipline of Bible study is the desire to know what the Bible says and how it intersects with my life. Bible study involves engaging the mind and focusing attention on Scripture in an attempt to understand and apply truth to every part of my life. Jesus exemplified the love of God’s Word in every area of his life. He used Scripture to answer those who tested him, resist temptation, find guidance, encourage his heart, comfort others, explain his actions, and ultimately face his own death.
If you are unfamiliar with Scripture or do not know where to begin, choose one of the Gospels (especially Mark or Luke) and study to discover all you can about Jesus. Ask yourself the following questions: What seems important to Jesus? What sort of questions does he ask people? What sort of questions do people ask of him? What is Jesus inviting me to be and do? Experiment with different ways to listen to Scripture. Read the Bible out loud. Savor the words. Listen to the Bible on CD or on your Bible app on your phone. Print a verse on a card and place it where you will see it throughout the day. Find a way to study the Scriptures.
