Over the last few months I have had hundreds of you request a post on “How To Study The Bible.” Well, here it is. I pray this post blesses you, challenges you, and inspires you to take the initiative to deepen your relationship with God.
Below is the formula I use when studying and journaling through the scriptures. This doesn’t mean it’s the only way to study, but I do believe this formula is a great way to strengthen your foundation in Christ.
1. Uncover
1. Time/Date/Author
2. Place/Location
3. Audience (who is the text directed to?)
2. Relate
1. How does it affect me?
2. How does it make me feel?
3. In what ways do I share a similar experience?
3. Apply
1. What did I learn?
2. How can it be applied to my life?
3. What is God trying to tell me through this text?

I am currently putting together a “How to Study Your Bible” workbook for my college students that will walk them through various techniques and tips to study their bibles. It’s been a frequently asked for resource. Excited to work on it.
Praying for your workbook.
Read a Bible thats in your language. Read early verses later, read yielding and regularly. Talk to others who have been studying for a while and can help you grow in wisdom.. I pray it grows in each reader heart.
Just used this today for my devotional it wat great. Thank you Jarrid, be blessed.
Dont forget to check original language as well. Sentence structure and the usage of words can teach you a lot.
Thanks Jarrid, I appreciate your posts.
Appreciate you Carlos.
Great points of reflection! I would only add one more, but I think it is an important one. “What does it reveal about the character of God?”
Thank you for sharing Jarrid! I occasionally get lost when reading the Bible. Huge help!
