5 Steps to Personally APPLY SCRIPTURE

The purpose of Bible study is to be challenged and encouraged by studying and applying God’s Word to our everyday lives. Try this practical approach to applying the Bible to your life! 

1. VERSE 

Write out the verse or passage.

2. TRUTH

Use your own words to state the truth of the verse.

3. NEED

Honestly assess your own life in relation to the truth of Scripture. What area of need does God’s Word expose in your life?

4. INTENT

State a specific change you want to implement in your area of need. Keep the action simple.

5. CHECKUP

State how you will accomplish the goal you have set. You may want to put a reminder on your calendar or share your application with a trusted friend who will hold you accountable.

Let God use this tool in your life with no expectation other than to spend more time with Him. Have confidence that God is conforming you to Christ’s image and that He will complete what He has started in you!
