Getting the Most from This Study
The Bible is a book of life, a treasure chest of truth…
…converting the soul,
…making wise the simple,
…rejoicing the heart,
…enlightening the eyes,
…more to be desired than gold,
…sweeter than honey…
and in obeying its teachings
there is great reward.
—from Psalm 19:7-11
The abundant wisdom and riches God has provided in His Word are available to every Christian, but they are possessed only by those who diligently dig for them. Meditation and prayer are two keys which unlock this storehouse of God's wisdom as you study. Prayerfully meditating on each verse you look up will help you understand its meaning, and its application for your life.
"Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."
—I Timothy 4:15
To help you meditate on God's Word, this book introduces a new kind of question in which you write out verses in your own words. To do this, read the verse two or three times and think it through. Then write down what it says as though you were telling someone else.
You'll learn more about the Bible and walking with Christ as you study chapters on…
Remember—ask for the Holy Spirit's instruction, and be regular in your study. At the rate of a chapter a week you will soon be ready for Book 4—Character of The Christian.
