As Christians it is important for us to renew our mind daily so that we can achieve our purpose & live out the life God has called us to live.
When we read God's word it not only renew's our mind, it also uplift's us and when we apply God's word to our life we will see our lives transformed.
God's word strengthens & encourages us & guides us to produce Godly character.
Before we read the bible sit in a quiet space where you wont be disturbed, we should start by praying & asking God to reveal to us what he want's us to read.
Different scriptures will be helpful to us in different season's of our life.
If you are a new Christian then I suggest that you start reading either the New Testament or any of the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
Select a specific section of the Bible to focus on, considering your current needs or a topic you want to explore.
Read the passage multiple times, paying attention to details like key words, phrases, and characters.
Write down observations: Note down anything that stands out to you, including questions you have.
Consider context: Think about the historical and cultural background of the passage.
Based on your observations, try to understand the main message or theme of the passage.
Compare Scripture: Cross-reference with other relevant Bible verses to gain a deeper understanding.
Upon personal reflection ask yourself :
• How does this passage apply to your life today?
• what specific ways you can put the teachings into practice.
remember to regularly reflect on what you've learned and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit.
Wisdom is the application of God's word to our life, when we build our life upon God's word we will be able to withstand the storm's & trial's of life untill the very end.
