HOW TO READ YOUR BIBLE

A. READ THE WORD WITH REGULARITY AND ATTENTION (I TIM. 4:13)
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.
B. RECEIVE THE WORD WITH SUBMISSION AND PASSION (JA. 1:21; JER. 15:16)
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.
C. MEDITATE UPON THE WORD WITH DELIGHT (PS. 1:2)
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
D. LIFT UP YOUR SOUL BY THE WORD WITH RELIEF (PS. 143:8)
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
E. LOOK FOR CHRIST IN THE WORD WITH EXPECTATION AND NEW COVENANT HOPE (JN. 5:39-40)
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
F. GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE WORD, BUT WITH TREMBLING (COL. 3:16; ISA. 66:2)
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.
