We must not just read the Bible, but truly study it, because sound doctrine comes from the Word of God and must agree with the whole counsel of Scripture. We must not depend on opinions, online teaching, or vain religious talk, but give ourselves to reading, doctrine, and careful study, comparing Scripture with Scripture and letting the Bible define its own words. God designed our minds to learn by association, and the King James Bible preserves the words, phrases, and patterns that help us search and understand truth rightly. If we want to grow beyond spiritual infancy, be stable in faith, and avoid error, we must make studying the Word of God a serious, lifelong part of our walk with the Lord. This message gives some instructions about how to study the Bible.
