How to Study the Bible: With A Comprehensive Study Guide

by Reuben A. Torrey, Dr. Stanford E. Murrell (Foreword)

“God wants Christians to study the Bible. The Bible is His final revelation to the world, and He wants individuals to know it, for without knowledge of the Word of God a person cannot be saved. While it is true that a person is saved by grace through faith alone in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:8), it is equally true that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). It is by hearing God’s Word that faith comes. Saving faith must be centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. There must be faith that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God; that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is come in the flesh; and that He died on the cross for sins. It is only through Jesus that a person can gain entrance to heaven. Because there is only one way to heaven, and that is through Jesus Christ, Satan will do everything possible to keep a person from knowing the Bible and learning spiritual truth. Knowledge of the Bible will help the believer know how to combat the world, the flesh, and the devil. The Psalmist understood this well, which is why he wrote, “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You” (Ps. 119:11).” —from the Foreword
