4 Ways to Deepen Your Understanding of Scripture

God is not the author of confusion. If you’ve ever closed your Bible feeling more lost than fed, these 4 tips are for you.

📖 Pray before reading. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and give you understanding (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).

📖 Look at the context. Who was the passage originally written to? What’s their cultural and historical background? This helps discern the author's intended meaning and rightly apply it to our lives today.

📖 Define key words. Look up words or cross-reference with other verses for deeper insight.

📖 Use a simple study tool. Study Bibles or online resources like Blue Letter Bible can make it easier to find definitions, supporting passages, and commentary.
