4 Tips to Improve Your Bible Study
Follow the strategies below to get the most out of the teachings found in the Bible.
1. You don’t have to start at the beginning
The Bible is a very long book, but you can start nearly anywhere. For example, if you want to learn about Jesus, you can start with the gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John found in the New Testament.
2. Begin your study with prayer
Open by addressing God. Then ask Him for wisdom and understanding as you read. Ask for specific guidance. When you’re done, end your prayer “in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.” Click here to learn more about how to pray.

4. Write down what you learn
Don’t forget the things the Bible has to teach you! Use a journal or notebook to keep track of the insights you pick up as you study.
