What You’ll Learn:
How are we to understand the Bible? Well in 2 Timothy 2:5 Paul teaches it is important for us to handle it accurately. He says “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” How do we do that? Well first, we must read its words to observe what it says. Second, we must interpret Scripture by studying its original context and determining the meanings of any difficult words or cultural issues, as well as examining what the rest of the Bible teaches on the topic. Then third, we must seek to apply its principles to our own lives. And when we do God’s Word is understood and lived in ways that change our lives and those around us.
