Instructions to Guide You in This Study
 

1.   Begin your study by having prayer.  You need to understand what the Bible teaches.  God has promised to help you, and 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.  First, read all the Underlined Statements but not the Scripture. This is helps you to initially focus on the various aspects of the Subject you are studying.

3.  Now, read all the Bible verses after the Underlined Statements.  As you read, key into your notepad or word-doc any thoughts that you want to add. 

4. Next, write a very concise summary statement of each of the underlined sections.  Use not more than 150 words for each summary (50 to 100 is probably sufficient providing you understand the salient core of each section).

5.  Meditate!  Continue to think about what the Bible teaches. Memorizing some of the key verses, while not required for this course, will produce valuable results.

6.  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.
