Last month, I continued to teach three classes on Course #1: Bible Study Methods & Rules of Interpretation. The students are learning many things from this course(1):
An awareness of their need to personally apply and obey the Bible as they preach and teach others.
To demonstrate that an important purpose of studying the Bible is for personal “training in righteousness” so pastors and church leaders will become more like Jesus Christ.
To emphasize the necessity to absolutely and totally depend on the illumination and teaching ministry of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
To encourage them to engage in personal, serious, regular Bible study in the text of Scripture.
Study the Word of God to know the God of the Word
