June 12, 2022
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)
Rules of Interpretation
(John 15:1-17)
1) Consider the context.
“If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the FIRE and burned.” vs. 6 (NIV)
2) Define key words.

3) Interpret unclear verses with clear ones.
• Fruit comes from remaining in Jesus. (vs. 4)
• Fruit brings glory to God. (vs. 8)
• Fruit brings joy to my life. (vs. 11)
4) Look for the most obvious meaning.
• Remaining in Jesus produces answered prayer. (vs. 7)
• Answered prayer brings glory to God. (John 14:13)
• Answered prayer gives me complete joy. (John 16:24)
