"12 Keys to Profiting Fully from What Is Written in Scripture"

In preparation for beginning to teach a 16-week Fall Sunday School series tomorrow, I posted an article on my blog that presents 12 keys to profiting fully from what is written in Scripture:

"12 Keys to Profiting Fully from What Is Written in Scripture"



1. Read the book repeatedly.

2. Prize it supremely and expect to work hard in studying it diligently.

3. Pray fervently for illumination.

4. Mark your Bible and take notes.

5. Keep in mind that the whole book is the context of anything that is in the book.

6. Note the beginning and the ending of the book.

7. Note the names of God and the truths about God found in the book.

8. Look especially for commands.

9. Note repetition, connect ideas, and do cross referencing.

10. Think about what you have read, believe it, and memorize what God specially brings to your attention.

11. Praise Him for what He has inspired to be written and pray about the instruction that He has given in the book.

12. Do what is written in the book and teach others.

I hope that some brethren on SI may find this study to be beneficial in their own study of Scripture.
