Instructions to Guide the Student in This Study

1.   Begin your study by having prayer.  You need to understand what the Bible teaches. God has promised to help you. God keeps his promises. As you pray, you can thank God that He will help you understand. Pray with faith.   Put John 16:13 to the test!

2.  Utilize any method of study (time of day, place of study, etc.) that will produce good results.

3.  First, read all the Underlined Statements but no Scripture. This is the Subject you are studying.

4.  Read carefully!  Be sure you know the meaning of each word. Reading aloud may help.

5.  Now, read all the Bible verses after the Underlined Statements. As you read, write in your notebook any thoughts that you want to add. Write a summary of what the Holy Spirit enables you to learn.  Since there are no tests to complete, the more carefully you read, and the more completely you write your summary, the more you will learn!

6.  Mark your Bible.  Make notations in the margin.

7.  Meditate!  Continue to think about what the Bible teaches. Memorize some verses.

8.   Live what the Bible teaches. Obey the Word of God! As you obey what you learn, God will teach you more.

9.   Share what you learn. As you teach and tell others what you have learned, God will help you to understand more clearly. You will help others and strengthen yourself.

10.  Never give up. With God's help you can be a faithful and effective Christian witness and worker.

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth 2 Timothy 2:15. 2 Timothy 2:15.
