The Inductive Bible Study MethodThe power is in the Holy Spirit illuminating the Word of God for the individual. Precept Ministries International has championed a study method that helps everyone from the casual student to the degreed seminarian mine the Truth of the Bible for themselves. The Inductive Study Method connects people directly to the text so they can understand it. Then God does the work. And lives change eternally. |
The Three Steps of Inductive Bible Study... |
|
Make sure to begin your time in the Word with prayer to and with the Author of the Book and the Author and Perfector of our faith. |
|
Observation |
Slow down and read the text with intentionality. Mark the “5 Ws and an H”; mark key words and repeated phrases. Build context. Discover what the text says by interrogating the text itself. |
Interpretation |
Put the pieces together. Who is talking to whom? What does this passage tell me about God or who I am or what I can become? Discover what the text means in the context of the culture and the Author’s intent. |
Application |
There is one interpretation of Scripture, but many applications. Are there promises to cling to, warnings to be heeded or commands to be obeyed? How do we need to adjust our individual lives to get on God’s plan? How can we glorify Him and be fully satisfied in Him in today’s world? |
