Empower Your Faith: 3 Keys To Understanding and Applying the Bible Every Time │Key #3 Artwork

Established in The Truth

Established in the Truth exists to help you know the Word deeply, love the church genuinely, and enjoy the Lord more fully.

New episodes every other Wednesday.

We explore theological topics, spiritual formation, Christian apologetics and real-life application in light of the Gospel and God’s Word. Our name comes from the Apostle Peter’s exhortation in 2 Peter 1:12: “I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.”

In a world full of voices, Scripture alone gives us the firm foundation, the deep deep well, we need. Like other biblical podcasts, The Authentic Christian, The Ten Minute Bible Hour, and The Bible Study Podcast, our aim is to strengthen your faith, deepen your understanding of God’s Word, and encourage you to walk faithfully with Christ.

Last episode in this series on Bible study!

This episode focusing on applications in Bible study.

Head and Heart

The first and most important application of any passage is applying the theological truth to our hearts and minds.
What does the text say about God?
- Ex. Psalm 90:2

Yielding our hearts to what a passage reveals about God is the primary work of the passage.

Do I believe this?
The Spirit does this work in whatever passage we are studying.

This is true even in Difficult passages

What are some practical ways that we can "apply" this to our bible study.

1. Ask do I believe what the text says about God?
2. Does this stir in my heart affections for Christ?

Meditating is a great way to truly chew on the Word daily.

Being a Doer

Start with the passage

Get the gist of it down
What does the text instruct the reader to do?
- Hint: Look for the verbs of the passage.

This could be an action, it could be believing something about God, it could even be a sin issue that God wants you to deal with.

1 Cor 13

The Love chapter

What passages explain the Gospel? Have you encountered questions that you are unsure the answer to regarding it? Do you have resources you can go to to get the answer?

Applying Bible Study Daily
The Spirit working in us with right interpretation, clarifying what passages mean and what they don't, gives us confidence in how to apply passages in every day life.

We should not take this truth for granted: the Bible should inform and through the Holy Spirit, empower every area of our lives, to bring us into conformity with God's will for us. We should not build on anything else but the rock of Christ.
