STUDYING the WORD

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

GOD's WORD is rich in JESUS, truth, and history.

Only by reading the Bible can we know GOD's laws.

Only by being born again can we be gifted with SPIRIT.

Only through SPIRIT can we understand Scripture.

Only through JESUS can we love, and appreciate, GOD.

That's why I meditate upon GOD's WORD, night and day.

That's also how we get to create all those blogs, and books.

Here's how to study GOD's WORD:

Joshua 1:7-8

King James Version

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, 

that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, 

which Moses my servant commanded thee: 

turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, 

that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; 

but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, 

that thou mayest observe to do 

according to all that is written therein: 

for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, 

and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 1:1-2

King James Version

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not 

in the counsel of the ungodly, 

nor standeth in the way of sinners, 

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; 

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 49:3

and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Psalm 63:5-6

King James Version

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; 

and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, 

and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Psalm 77:11-13

King James Version

11 I will remember the works of the Lord: 

surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, 

and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: 

who is so great a God as our God?

in the secret place of the most High 

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will be glad in the Lord.

and have respect unto thy ways.

16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: 

I will not forget thy word.

Psalm 143:5-6

King James Version

5 I remember the days of old; 

I meditate on all thy works; 

I muse on the work of thy hands.

my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

Matthew 4:4

King James Version

4 But he answered and said, 

It is written, 

Man shall not live by bread alone, 

but by every word that proceedeth 

out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 7:24-25

King James Version

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, 

and doeth them, 

I will liken him unto a wise man, 

which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, 

and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; 

and it fell not: 

for it was founded upon a rock.

(That ROCK is CHRIST.)

1 Corinthians 10:4

for in them ye think ye have eternal life: 

and they are they which testify of me.

Romans 1:16-17

King James Version

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: 

for it is the power of God unto salvation 

to every one that believeth; 

to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed 

from faith to faith: 

as it is written, 

The just shall live by faith.

Romans 10:17

King James Version

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, 

and hearing by the word of God.

1 Timothy 4:13-15

King James Version

13 Till I come, 

give attendance to reading, 

to exhortation, 

to doctrine.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, 

which was given thee by prophecy, 

with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

15 Meditate upon these things; 

give thyself wholly to them; 

that thy profiting may appear to all.

1 Timothy 4:16

King James Version

16 Take heed unto thyself, 

and unto the doctrine; 

continue in them: 

for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, 

and them that hear thee.

Revelation 1:3

King James Version

3 Blessed is he that readeth, 

and they that hear the words of this prophecy, 

and keep those things which are written therein: 

for the time is at hand.

Another magnificent outpouring for the love of the WORD can be found on king David's Psalm 119.
