“Begin your Bible reading with prayer (Ps 119:18; Jn 16:13–15). 2. Take brief notes on what you read. Keep a small notebook for your Bible study (see number 4 below). 3. Read slowly through one chapter, or perhaps two or three chapters, or perhaps just one paragraph at a time. After reading, ask yourself what this passage means. Then reread it. 4. It is often very helpful in finding out the true meaning of a chapter or passage to ask yourself the following questions, then write the answers in your notebook: a. What is the main subject of this passage? b. Who are the persons revealed in this passage: Who is speaking? About whom is he speaking? Who is acting? c. What is the key verse of this passage? d. What does this passage teach me about the Lord Jesus Christ? e. Does this passage portray any sin for me to confess and forsake? f. Does this passage contain any command for me to obey? g. Is there any promise for me to claim? h. Is there any instruction for me to follow?”

“This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, aor by the hearing of faith? 3Are you so foolish? bHaving begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by cthe flesh? 4dHave you suffered so 3many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6just as Abraham e“believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7Therefore know that only fthose who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8And gthe Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, h“In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.”
