Sound Principles for Effective Bible Study
Ephesians 6:17 - "The sword of the Spirit" is "the word of God."
Always compare counsel you receive from others, or impressions you receive in your own mind, with the Bible. If an idea doesn't agree with the Bible, don't believe it. "The Spirit and the Word agree" (Faith and Works, p. Eight-Eight).
1 Corinthians 2:14 - Spiritual things are spiritually discerned.
Pray and ask for the Holy Spirit before studying the Bible.
1 Corinthians 2:13 - Compare "spiritual things with spiritual."
Let the Scriptures interpret themselves by comparing different passages of Scripture.
Isaiah 28:10 - "Precept must be upon precept."
Read all that there is on a subject and base your beliefs on the conclusion that contains the greatest weight of evidence.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine." Guard against disregarding the Bible when it doesn't agree with your habits or lifestyle.
2 Timothy 3:16 - "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God."
Trust the whole Bible. Don't pick and choose.
John 7:17 - "If anyone wills to do His will" he will know the truth.
Be willing to obey truth as it is revealed.
