How to Study the Bible 

Studying the Bible shouldn’t be complicated, but it does require a careful and structured approach. This page is your go-to resource for understanding Scripture clearly and in context—from Genesis to Revelation.

A Simple, Yet Powerful Approach to Bible Study

To rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15), I follow these foundational principles:

 

1️⃣ Identify the Author – Who is writing?
2️⃣ Identify the Audience – Who is the writer speaking to?
3️⃣ Understand the Setting – What are the historical and cultural circumstances?
4️⃣ Examine the Context – What happened before and after this passage?
5️⃣ Read ‘In-Time’ – Interpret Scripture based on what was revealed at that time, without inserting what we now know.

 

By following these principles, we avoid the common mistake of blending everything together and picking verses that fit a particular denomination or tradition. Instead, we let Scripture interpret Scripture and see God’s redemptive plan unfold as He revealed it.

Interpreting Scripture: Staying True to the Text

Most interpretive errors arise from a failure to consider a passage’s context. The foundational principle of sound Bible study is to interpret Scripture literally, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. When this discipline is neglected, interpretations become subjective, inconsistent, and often absurd—driven by personal theology rather than the text itself.

Equally important is reading Scripture in-time—that is, understanding that the Bible is a progressive revelation. God’s redemptive plan was not fully revealed to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or even Peter and the eleven. Each was given what was necessary for their time, in line with God’s unfolding plan. To interpret Scripture without acknowledging its progressive nature is to risk serious error.

Faithful Bible students must apply a literal, grammatical, and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. Sadly, much of today’s interpretation is governed by man’s theology rather than allowing God’s Word to govern theology.

By following the set of guides above to help you maintain this faithful approach to interpreting the Bible—literally, contextually, and in the proper timeline of revelation.
