How to Study the Bible!
How to start your day in a Spiritual Way
Set aside at least 15 minutes to do a Bible study each morning. Take time for God and He will bless everything you put your hand to do. You are really honoring Him when you put Him first each day. Would not you agree? You must resist Satan when he tries to convince you that you do not have time to study your Bible for God each day (James 4:7). When you resist Satan, you will crucify the flesh with its evil passions and desires (Gal. 5:16, 24; Rom. 8:13).
Ask the Lord to guide you through the day and to keep you busy in a spiritual way. Live to please only Him in your work and in your leisure. When you go to work, look for those who need to be cheered up and do what you can to help. Maybe you can bring some fresh rolls to work to share with others. Buy someone coffee if you have a chance, or just lend an ear to someone who has troubles. One of the main reasons people attempt suicide is that they feel nobody cares. The true disciple of Jesus Christ, living in a spiritual way, brightens the day of those around him who are in despair.
A true disciple of Jesus Christ will study God’s word each day in order to allow the Lord to speak to him. This is how you show yourself approved by God (2 Tim. 2:15). This is how you please Him and obey Him. You prove that you love God by putting Him first in your life (John 15:8).
Part of the Will of God for you is for you to study the Bible (2 Tim. 2:15). Many who study the Bible, study for information rather than correction. Disciples of Jesus Christ are admonished not to be foolish, but understand the Will of God (Ephesians 5:17).
God’s word says that all Scripture is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and training in how to practice righteousness, so that the man or woman of God may know how to do good to please God (1 John 2:29; Matt. 5:16; 2 Tim. 3:16-17). How many people have studied the life of Christ for many years, but have never started to live like He does?
We are to imitate Jesus Christ and the Father by daily practicing the sayings of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 11:1; Eph. 5:1; 3 John 11). Jesus’ words will judge all humanity at the end of the age (John 12:47-48). Just being a Bible scholar does not justify a person, but being a doer of the word does (2 Tim. 3:7; Rom. 2:13; James 1:22; Luke 6:46). Jesus Christ made Himself perfectly clear about practicing righteousness. We are to perform the Father’s Will in our daily lives, as it is done in heaven (1 John 2:17; John 7:17; Matt. 6:10). Jesus says to do as He says, keep His word, walk in His commandments and act upon His sayings (Luke 8:21; 11:28; 6:47-48; 2 John 6; Matt. 7:24).
The central teaching of the Bible is to engage in a life of good deeds, endure and not become weary in well-doing, and overcome our evil natures by doing good deeds (Titus 3:8; 2 Thess. 3:13; Heb. 10:36; Gal. 6:9; Rom. 2:7; 12:21; 6:18-19). If this is the kind of peculiar people Christ is making for Himself - and He is - we should then be studying the Bible to train ourselves in righteousness (Titus 2:14). As we keep the sayings of Jesus Christ and study to show ourselves approved to God, we will always be ready with the right answer, and ready to lead many to righteousness (Matt. 5:19; 1 Peter 3:15; Dan. 12:3).
You are well on your way to having God’s Word, the Bible, come to life for you – as it is the fountain of living waters (Jer. 2:13; Psalm 36:9; John 4:14). And, living by God’s word is truly life-saving.
