How to Study and Understand the Bible (part 1)

Messagerie COG - Comment étudier et comprendre la Bible (1ère partie)

Le mot disciple est souvent utilisé pour désigner les disciples de Jésus-Christ dans le Nouveau Testament. Dans les versions anglaises du Nouveau Testament, le mot "disciple" est traduit du grec mathētḗsqui signifie un apprenant, un étudiant. Un "disciple" n'était pas seulement un élève, mais un adhérent ; c'est pourquoi on parle d'eux comme des imitateurs de leur maître" (Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words (Dictionnaire Expositoire Vines des mots du Nouveau Testament)). Jésus a ordonné : "Apprenez de moi" (Matthieu 11:29). Le mot grec à partir duquel "Apprenez" est traduit dans ce verset est à l'impératif, l'humeur du commandement. Jésus-Christ est notre maître (Matthieu 10:24-25), il nous est ordonné d'apprendre de lui, d'être ses élèves et ses adhérents, d'apprendre et de suivre ses enseignements.

Where are his teachings found? They are found in the Bible, the Word of God. Jesus himself is the living Word of God (John 1:1, 14). Jesus Christ is the Spokesman, the Revelator, for the God family, the one through whom the Scriptures were inspired and communicated to mankind through the written word of God preserved in the Bible. A student is expected to study and learn from the instructions of the teacher. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (II Timothy 2:15). The Greek word for “be diligent” in the NKJV is translated “study” in the KJV. Both meanings are implied by the Greek, and thus we are to diligently study to properly understand and apply the word of God.

How many who claim to be Christians actually read and study the Bible regularly, or daily, as we are admonished, indeed commanded, to do, and how may that be accomplished? In “How to Study and Understand the Bible (Part 1)” find important keys to help guide you in effective Bible study.

The source of godly wisdom is the Word of God, the Scriptures, the Bible. “…the Holy Scriptures …are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). Effective Bible study then can lead you to eternal salvation (Proverbs 3:21-23; 4:5-6, 13).
