3 Keys to Unlock the Bible in my life

 

 

  1. Accept the authority of the Bible in my life.
    1.  1. Thessalonians 2:13
      1. Also, we always thank God because when you heard his message from us, you accepted it as the word of God, not the words of humans.  And it really is God's message which works in you who believe.
    1. 2. Timothy 3:16-17
      1. All Scripture is inspired by God, and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
    1. Authority: What you base your decisions on.
    2. Unreliable Authority
      1. Culture
      2. Tradition
      3. Reason

 

  1. Assimilate the Bible into my life.
    1. Listen
      1. Hebrews 2:1
        1. It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off.

 

  1. Read
    1. Revelation 1:3
      1. Happy is the one who reads the words of God's message, and happy are the people who hear this message and do what is written in it….

 

  1. Study
    1. Psalm 1:1-2
      1. Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God.  Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night.

 

  1. Marinate
    1. Psalm 119:9-11
      1. How can a young person stay pure?  By obeying your word and following its rules.  I have tried my best to find you - don't let me wander from your commands.  I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

 

  1. Joshua 1:8
    1. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;  meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.  Then you will be prosperous and successful.

 

  1. Apply the principles of the Bible to my life.
    1. John 13:17
      1. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
