Bible Study (#4)

OBSERVATION: Begin with prayer

Each of the sixty six books of the Bible is a complete message from God and therefore the text should be observed and studied as a whole. Each book, in turn, relates in a special way to the whole Word of God so that there is a consistency of message and unity within the Bible. This was pulled off by 40 writers over a period of 1500 years as they were each moved by the Holy Spirit. The wisdom of the Bible is self-evident. The Bible is without error and all efforts to disprove it have failed. Archeology has confirmed as true stories related in the Bible. To me all this is proof of God and it verifies the Bible is God’s Word. There is no other possible explanation. You can learn nothing of importance from the Bible apart from the work of the Holy spirit. Scripture tells us the Word of God is foolishness to the unbeliever. Therefore, as you begin each session of Bible study approach it with reverence by starting with prayer. Ask God, by His Spirit, to lead you into all truth and to open your eyes and your heart that you may behold wondrous things out of His Word. As you study maintain an attitude of prayer.

John 16:13-15 – (Jesus speaking) – However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Psalm 119:18 – Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.
