Basics of Bible InterpretationSample

Dear child of God,

The Bible is not an ordinary book. It is divinely inspired, alive, and full of God’s breath. Within its pages flows the very life of God, unveiling His heart, His will, and His eternal plan fulfilled in Christ. The Scriptures are not merely stories or moral lessons. They are God’s mirror, revealing Christ and reflecting who you are in Him.

To read the Bible is to step into divine conversation. It is not about religion or ritual. It is about beholding a Person, Jesus Christ. Every chapter, every line, every shadow points to Him. And until you approach the Word with this consciousness, you may handle the pages but miss the life they carry.

Yet, as glorious as the Scriptures are, they must be rightly divided. God’s Word is truth, but truth must be interpreted correctly to produce light. Misinterpretation leads to confusion, bondage, and misrepresentation of God’s heart. But when the Word is opened accurately, by the Spirit and in truth, it releases understanding, clarity, boldness, and spiritual maturity. This is why it matters how we handle the Word.

We want to share this with you. We have put together a few foundational truths to guide you as you enjoy the Scriptures, not just as a book to be studied, but as a life to be received. These will equip you to understand the Bible for what it truly is: God’s unveiling of Christ, and your invitation into that same glory.

So read on, and let the Spirit of God awaken in you a passion not just for the Word, but for the Person the Word reveals.
