The study of the Bible is very important in the life of Christians. Study of the Bible is necessary to enable us to understand God spiritually. Without studying the Bible, we will not truly understand God's love. So how are we going to study the Bible?
First, we must understand to study the Bible properly, we must rely on the guidance of the holy spirit. The Bible is a spiritual book with hidden wisdom contained in it. To understand spiritual wisdom, we must study the Bible with the guidance of the holy spirit. The natural mind cannot understand the Bible. We cannot use natural wisdom to interpret the Bible. As we study the Bible, we must allow God's spirit to guide us into all truth.
There are many in the world today who believe they understand the Bible. However, they interpret the Bible based on natural wisdom. However, studying the Bible with natural wisdom will not benefit us. We must unlock the spiritual wisdom of God's word. To do this, we must listen to the spirit of God. There are many different denominations in Christianity today. Many of these denominations come from inadequate Bible study.
The Bible also tells us that we must correctly divide the word of truth in Bible study. How do we divide the word of God? We divide the word of God by keywords. To study the Bible correctly, we must participate in the study of keywords. To do this, we look up certain words in biblical passages. Then we use a concordance to find this word in other scriptures. Then we study the verses with the key words contained in them. This helps us see what God is really trying to tell us. We must study the word of God with the dictionary of God. This means that we cannot define the words of the Bible based on our natural wisdom. We must look at the scriptures to see how God defines certain words. For example, a careful study of the Bible will reveal to us that the fire in the Bible represents the holy spirit. Therefore, when we see the word fire in the Bible Study, we know that it is defined as holy spirit on many occasions. We cannot define fire as what we know naturally. The same applies to many words in the Bible. With careful study of the Bible, we also realize that stealing also means climbing in any way other than by faith in Jesus. This is found in John 10: 1. God defines the words He has used in the Bible. If we use our natural knowledge, wisdom, and definitions, we will misunderstand God's word. We must study the word of God carefully with a spiritual mindset and a spiritual dictionary.
Many try to study the word of God with natural wisdom. By doing this, they misunderstand the word of God. It is not possible that we can understand the word of God by studying the Bible from a natural mindset. The Bible tells us that the natural man does not perceive the things of the spirit of God. We must understand that God has hidden his word using spiritual meanings. Those who study the Bible for natural meanings lose the intended spiritual meaning. We must study the Bible to try to understand how God defines each particular word.
The best Bible to use is the King James Version when studying the Bible. Many try to study the Bible using different translations. However, many translations actually hide the spiritual truth of God's word. To understand particular verses, we must conduct keyword studies. When the keywords have been changed, we cannot find how God defines certain words. We must be able to perform keyword searches for a proper Bible study. When the keywords have been changed, this becomes impossible. The best scenario would be to learn the original Greek and Hebrew languages. Then we could study the Bible in its original language. The KJV is the best English Bible for keyword Bible study. The KJV can be used with a match for original keyword studies. The concordance will allow us to see the original word in the original language. This allows us to find related scriptures based on keywords. I suggest using the KJV when studying the Bible. However, even with the KJV, the Bible can be misunderstood. The spirit of God is of utmost importance when studying the Bible.
