Basic principles to help youth who are studying the Bible understand it more effectively and apply it accurately to life and thoughts.





Five Principles of Bible study• Ask the right

questions.• Write down what you

observe and discover.• Apply your discovery

to your life and thoughts.

• Study the Bible systematically.

• Strive to exhaust the passage you are studying.





Bible Study Tools in Order of Importance• Translation of the

Bible• Concordance• Dictionary• Bible Dictionary• Commentary





Methodical Bible study• Pray for the Holy Spirit’s

guidance and insight.• Make observations by

asking questions.• Seek answers from the

scripture and then tools in order of importance.

• Apply the scripture to your life.





Questions to Ask When Studying the Bible• What is the historical

setting?• What is the literary form?• What are the key words?• What important

grammatical structure do I observe?

• What is the tense of the verbs?





• Is there something contrasted?

• Is there a paradox?• Is the passage dependant

on a preceding passage?• Ask six questions: What?

Who? Where? When? Why? and How?





Application of a Bible Passage• Is there a promise to claim?• Is there a command to obey?• Is there a sin to confess?• Is there a teaching to absorb?





Common Pitfalls of Youth Studying the Bible• Looking past the obvious

for the hidden.• Failure to consider the

historical in rushing to application.
