When studying the Word, here are four questions (cited here our Under the Hood: How to Study the Word podcast) to ask yourself about a passage to help you learn its meaning.
Is there a principle in this verse that I need to apply?
Is there a warning/consequence in this verse that I need to heed/avoid?
Is there a promise in this verse that I need to remember?
Can I think of a modern day experience where the truth in this Scripture could be applied?
