Bible Study Guide

As we grow in Christ, we must learn how to study the Bible for ourselves and not depend solely on the instruction of others.
One of the best ways to get to the “solid food” of the Word is through “inductive” Bible study. The inductive method observes a passage of Scripture and then draws conclusions based on those observations.
Commonly, this method is defined by three parts:
-
Observation
-
Interpretation
-
Application
And I add two parts
4. Correlation
5. Key Summary
Observation
Key Words and Phrases. What stands out to you?
Interpretation
Context: Historical, Cultural, Literary, Background.
Application
How does this apply to our lives today?
Correlation
Where else in scripture is this theme or idea mentioned?
Key Summary
Summarize the idea of the passage you read in 10 words or less.
