For many of us, reading the Bible—much less studying it—is daunting. The language is archaic, the stories are violent, and it’s difficult to know the takeaways. But the Bible is how we know God, experience his love, and understand what he expects from us. Add tools to your Bible study toolkit, such as comparison, grammar, outlines, word studies, themes, and soaking, because nothing is more important and life-changing than knowing God’s word.
