The Bible Teaches Us to Use the Bible

When we want to figure out how to use the Bible, we don’t need to complicate the process. The Bible itself tells us how to use the Bible.

Jesse Johnson quotes W.H. Pike, who writes of the many instructions the Bible itself gives about how to use the Bible:

1. Read it (Neh 8:8)
2. Believe it (Rom 10:8)
3. Receive it (James 1:10)
4. Taste it (Heb 6:5)
5. Eat it (Jer 15:16)
6. Hold it fast (Titus 1:9)
7. Hold it forth (Phil 2:16)
8. Preach it (2 Tim 4:2)
9. Search it (John 5:29)
10. Study it (2 Tim 2:15)
11. Meditate on it (Ps 1:2)
12. Compare it (2 Cor 2:13)
13. Rightly divide it (2 Tim 2:15)
14. Delight in it (Ps 119:92)
