Bible Study

No man can study the Word of God until he has learned that he needs for every part of it the guidance of the great Author; while the law of advance in the study of Scripture is the law of obedience to all light already received. There must be willingness to learn and readiness to work. We can never know the Word of God save as we are prepared to put it into practise.
We must (1) read the Bible (2), examine it, and (3) meditate upon it—not only think but bring the life into the light of the thing discovered. Let the student take a single book, read it again and again until he has a clear idea of the argument, analyze and examine. Then each section should be taken more minutely in the same fashion; and lastly, the book must be taken word for word until the structure and purpose of each has been appreciated. Then there ought to follow prayerful meditation.— Dr. Campbell Morgan.
