Before we begin may I ask you a few questions?
· Do you long to know God?
· Do you yearn for a deep and abiding relationship with Him?
· Do you want to live the Christian life faithfully – and know what He requires of you?
Most Christians have been encouraged to study the Word of God, yet many have never been shown how. The very heart of Inductive study is seeing truth for yourself, discerning what it means, and applying that truth to your life.
In His inspired Word, God has given everything we need to know about life and godliness. But He doesn’t stop there.
He gives every believer a resident teacher - the Holy Spirit - who guides us into His truth. Notice it says, “into, not up to”.
The Bible needs no other books or truths to supplement it.
In inductive study the Bible becomes its own commentary, and it can be understood by any believer.
We will begin each study with prayer.
Prayer is often the missing element in Bible study. You are about to learn the most effective method of Bible study there is. Yet apart from the work of the Holy Spirit, that’s all it will be - a method. It is the indwelling Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth, who takes the things of God and reveals them to us.
Always ask God to teach you as you open the scriptures.
