How To Read the Bible
There is one important encouragement I want to offer as your pastor and fellow student of the Scriptures: Let the Bible itself be the foundation and focus of every class. Not just summaries, not just devotional thoughts—but the living, active Word of God read aloud, studied carefully, and understood in its context. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
We live in a time when even believers often read books about the Bible more than they read the Bible itself. And in some places—even seminaries—students spend more time discussing ideas about Scripture than dwelling in Scripture itself. But we must return to the source. God has given us His Word as the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), and it is able to equip us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
So I encourage you:
Read the Bible with your class—open it together, read aloud, and walk verse by verse through what God is saying. Jesus Himself often asked, “Have you not read…?” (Matthew 12:3). Let our people hear the words of the Lord with their own ears, and let the Word do its work in them.
Do not rush. Even if you are more familiar with the passage, remember: not everyone is. Go slowly. Let each verse breathe. “The unfolding of Your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130). The light comes as we linger.
Help them truly understand. Show them how Scripture interprets Scripture—how cross-references shed light on meaning. God’s Word is not a puzzle but a treasure. And just as Jesus explained the Scriptures to the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:27), we are called to open the Word clearly to others.
Repeat key truths and allow time for reflection. Just as God gave His people rhythms of repetition—daily, weekly, seasonally—we also should revisit truth often. Paul said, “To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you” (Philippians 3:1). Repetition strengthens faith and helps the Word dwell richly in us (Colossians 3:16).
Make space for conversation and response. Jesus often asked His disciples questions, not because He didn’t know the answer, but because He wanted them to discover the truth themselves. Ask questions. Invite them to summarize what they’ve heard. Encourage them to apply it to their lives.
Use concrete examples and images. The Lord taught in parables because stories and pictures stay with us. When teaching, anchor truth in real life. “The kingdom of heaven is like…” was one of Jesus’ favorite ways to help people see with spiritual eyes.
Give room for silence and prayer. After reading or teaching, invite a pause. Let hearts consider. Let minds rest in God’s truth. As the psalmist said, “I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways” (Psalm 119:15).
Let us remember: teaching is not about filling heads with knowledge, but about forming hearts to follow Jesus. We are not raising up mere students, but disciples—those who hear His Word and obey it (Luke 11:28). The goal is not just comprehension, but transformation by the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2).
Be faithful to the Word. Go deep. Be patient. Teach with the compassion and clarity of Christ. Read the Bible with your class—open it together, read aloud, and walk verse by verse through what God is saying. And above all, pray for the Holy Spirit to make the Word alive in each heart.
