  1. When You Readthe Scriptures “By which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ” (Ephesians 3:4)

  2. When You Read the Scriptures Know it is inspired of God 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18

  3. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

  4. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” As scripture is divine, (i.e. – the words of Christ), it is authoritative.

  5. When You Read the Scriptures Know it is inspired of God 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18 Ask, “Who is doing the speaking?” Genesis 3:4; John 9:28-31

  6. Genesis 3:4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.” As I know that devil said this, I have no trouble understanding that it is not a true statement, though found in the Bible.

  7. John 9:28-31 Then they reviled him [the blind man who had been healed by Jesus] and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from.” 30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.”

  8. When You Read the Scriptures Know it is inspired of God 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18 Ask, “Who is doing the speaking?” Genesis 3:4; John 9:28-31 Know to whom the message is spoken 1 Peter 3:1-6, 7; James 1:27; 1 Corinthians 5:4-5

  9. 1 Peter 3:1-6 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel-- 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

  10. 1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. Also, instructions given to elders, deacons, evangelists, Jews, Gentiles. Must be understood within the context of the one spoken to...

  11. James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. Institutional error began, in part, by a failure to recognize this passage is speaking to the individual Christian

  12. 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Discipline is to be carried out by the church “when you are gathered together”

  13. When You Read the Scriptures Know it is inspired of God 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18 Ask, “Who is doing the speaking?” Genesis 3:4; John 9:28-31 Know to whom the message is spoken 1 Peter 3:1-6, 7; James 1:27; 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 Love the Truth 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10; Psalm 1:1-2

  14. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

  15. Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.

  16. When You Read the Scriptures Know it is inspired of God 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18 Ask, “Who is doing the speaking?” Genesis 3:4; John 9:28-31 Know to whom the message is spoken 1 Peter 3:1-6, 7; James 1:27; 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 Love the Truth 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10; Psalm 1:1-2 Read the Context

  17. What Is Context? • Bible: As inspired word of God • Covenant: Old or New • Book or Letter: Who written to, when, and for what purpose • Verses immediately preceding and following: What is the point of that section or paragraph of scripture.

  18. When You Read the Scriptures Know it is inspired of God 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18 Ask, “Who is doing the speaking?” Genesis 3:4; John 9:28-31 Know to whom the message is spoken 1 Peter 3:1-6, 7; James 1:27; 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 Love the Truth 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10; Psalm 1:1-2 Read the Context Read all there is on a particular topic

  19. Topical Studies • The truth is the sum total of all God has to say on any particular subject. • Here is where some Bible study helps can come in handy... (Examples: Exhaustive Concordance or Topical Bible) • This is a good exercise in demonstrating the harmony of God’s word.
