Observation

What Do You See?

Mark up the passage. Don’t be afraid
to write in your Bible. Circle, underline and highlight. Write in the margins. Get creative.

Interpretation

What Does It Mean?

Your observations will most likely lead to interesting and challenging questions about the text. The step of interpretation allows you to sift through the various observations in order to provide answers.

Application

What Do I Do with It?

Bible study is incomplete until you
have thought through how to apply the particular passage to your life. Some passages will be more readily applicable than others, but all Scripture is useful and helpful (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

Meditation

Approach It Prayerfully!

Ask GOD to open your eyes to see the beautiful 
wonders of Christ and the glories of the 
gospel.
