How to Do a Bible Study.

regarding your own response to the passage. These are not quick fill-in-the-blank questions; they are intended to cause you to slow down and meditate on the truth God is teaching you. How does the biblical teaching apply to your life? Where do you need to grow or change? How has Christ already changed you?

A Bible Reading Method You Can Use
The following is a bible reading method . It is very simple: Pray, Read, Think, Pray.
Pray:
Ask God to open up His Word to you. "Lord open my eyes that I may see wonders from your Word".
Read:
Read a short passage of Scripture about ten to fifteen verses or a chapter. Start with the New Testament first and read it in order from Matthew to Revelation.
Think:
Think about what you have just read and ask some of the following questions:
- What does the passage say about God? What does it say about the Father, about the Son and about the Holy Spirit?
- What does the passage say about life? Does it teach some important principles? Is there a command to obey, a warning to heed, some wise advice for living?
- What does the passage say about your daily situation? Is there something you should be doing? Does it shed light on your professional life, family life or church participation?
- Has Jesus spoken to you in a special way through the Bible today? If so what did He say to you?
Pray:
Write out a prayer to God based on what you have learned from your Bible reading. Something like "Lord help me to love my neighbor as myself." or whatever lesson you have learned that day.
Where To Start
Where should you start when reading the Scriptures? With the material about Jesus. That is the New Testament and especially the gospels. Here is my suggested order for reading the whole Bible. It will take about three years to finish if you read one chapter per day and one year to finish if you read 3 or 4 chapters a day.
- Read the New Testament in order, starting with Matthew and going book by book until you reach the last chapter of Revelation. This will give you a good idea bout Jesus, the Church and Christian living.
- Then go back to the beginning of the Bible and read Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy which tells you how things began and God's order for Creation, mankind and society.
- The read the Psalms in order from 1 to 50 then take a break (there are 150 of them).
- Read Isaiah 40-66, Daniel, Amos, Hosea, Jonah, Haggai, Zechariah, Lamentations and Malachi which should help you grasp the prophets.
- Then read Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, and Song of Solomon - known as the Wisdom Literature.
- Joshua , Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1& 2 Kings, 1& 2 Chronicles - this will give you a good grasp of the history of Israel.
- Then go back and read the New Testament from start to finish all over again.
- Then go back and read another 50 Psalms (51-100).
- Then tackle the Old Testament laws in Leviticus and Numbers.
- More prophets - Ezekiel, Isaiah 1-39, Jeremiah these are the "major prophets."
- Finish with some less known books Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, & Zephaniah.
- Then finish the last 50 Psalms (101-150).

They "received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so."
