How to Study the Bible
For Yourself!

Many of us would like to go deeper in our Bible study, but we don’t know where to begin. After all, the Bible has 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,173 verses. Not only can the Bible’s size be overwhelming, but the sheer number of Bible Study methods can be overwhelming. Bible study shouldn’t be intimidating. We may not all have PhDs in theology, but we all have one thing in common, even with the most renowned biblical scholars: the Holy Spirit that lives in them lives in us, too, guiding us in our study. The same Spirit that teaches them teaches us. Jesus confirms this when He says:

“But the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26).
