Title: Making Your Bible Study Come to Life


1
Making Your Bible Study Come to Life
  • Making Bible study personal, practical, and
    profitable. 2 Timothy 316-17

2
Introduction
  • Bible study can seem like a daunting task (boring
    to others).
  • Simply reading the Bible can tax the mind and
    bring about physical exhaustion.
  • The sub conscience might reason If Bible reading
    is this taxing stay how much harder studying it!
  • Like anything else, however, you get out what you
    put in.

3
Introduction
  • While studying Gods word does take time and
    energy, how you study and the tools you use can
    make the Word of Life come to life.
  • Many dont study because they dont have the
    tools and those who do dont know how to use them
    to help them in their study.
  • Then, there is the study itself that can seem so
    rigid or filled with life!

4
Tools of the Trade
  • Translations literal (NASB), modern (ESV), easy
    reading (NIV)
  • Maps public domain modern maps (with updated
    information)
  • Concordance.
  • Dictionaries definitional/encyclopedic original
    language (Hebrew/Greek) lexicons.
  • Commentaries devotional, pastoral, scholarly etc.

5
Tools of the Trade
  • If that is too overwhelming use a Bible software
    program.
  • Simple but most powerful/flexible Logos Bible
    Software.
  • Free (quite useful) E-Sword.

6
Making It All Come Together
  • Adding a layer of context to your study
    archaeology.
  • Example Ephesians 214.
  • Through archaeology artifacts shed light into the
    understanding of passages found in the Bible.
  • Archaeological website www.bib-arch.org

7
Making It All Come Together
  • Gleaning from external sources (where/when
    available).
  • The Book of wars of the Lord Book of Jashar
    etc. Cp. Num. 2114 2 Sam. 118
  • Other ancient historians Herodotus (2 Ki. 18-19
    Isa. 36-37 Micah) Sennacherib
  • As more ancient artifacts and literature are
    found such only confirms the validity of the
    Scriptures, but more important for believers
    enhances our understanding of it.

8
Conclusion Life Application
  • No study has any value unless it affects you
    personally.
  • Only when we see the effect of Jesus
    death/resurrection for our sinsdo we see a
    desperate need for salvation.
  • Only by connecting other passages, concepts of
    the Bible to Gods plan for saving us from our
    sins do these studies truly come to life for
    each one personally.
