Context matters.
The Bible was written in books, letters, histories, poetry, prophecy, and Gospel accounts—not as a collection of random quotations.
Before asking, “What does this verse mean to me?” we should first ask:
What does the passage actually say?тАи Who was the original audience?тАи What was the author communicating?тАи What comes before and after the verse?тАи How does this passage fit into the larger story of Scripture?тАи How should this truth change the way I live?
Paul told Timothy to work hard so that he could correctly explain the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15, NLT).
Bible study should move us beyond simply reading Scripture toward truly understanding and applying it.
READ.тАиOBSERVE.тАиUNDERSTAND.тАиAPPLY.
When we learn to read Scripture in context, we begin to see more clearly the character of God, the seriousness of sin, the beauty of grace, the glory of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Gospel.
