Grace And Peace, Precious friend(s). For your Encouragement and help:

Bible “study” Rules :

(1) “Let ALL things be done Decently and In Order!”
(1_Corinthians_14:40 KJB)

(2) Study ALL Scripture Rightly Divided! :

“Study to shew thyself Approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth!”
(2_Timothy_2:15 KJB)

(3) Never Ever add to, Or take away From, God’s PURE And Holy Word!
Keep everything in Context - immediate, chapter, book, Whole Bible!
{ Including "God's Contexts!," [ Prophecy ] Rightly Divided from [ MYSTERY! ] }
(Deuteronomy_4:2, 12:32; Proverbs_30:5-6; Revelation_22:18,19 KJB)

(4) Be noble students :

“These (in Berea) were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they received The Word with all readiness of mind, and
searched The Scriptures daily, Whether Those Things Were So!”
(Acts_17:11 KJB)

(5) Build Sound Doctrine, God’s Way! :

(a) "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;​
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"​
(Isaiah_28:10, 13 KJB)​

(b) Find ALL Related Scriptures For A Specific doctrine! :​

”ALL Scripture Is Given By Inspiration Of God, And Is​
Profitable For Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for​
instruction in righteousness : that the man of God may​
be perfect, throughly furnished unto ALL good works!”​
(2_Timothy_3:16-17 KJB)​
(c) Compare ALL Related Scriptures to learn and know a​
Specific doctrine! :​

“Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s​
wisdom teacheth, but Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth;​
comparing spiritual things with spiritual!”​
(1_Corinthians_2:13 KJB)​
{Comparing Scripture With Scripture!}​

“Simplicity” in CHRIST! (2_Corinthians_11:3 KJB) Amen?

(6) The Best "Interpretive" Commentary On The Bible Is :
The BIBLE Itself!

NEVER ever interpret The Many Plain Scriptures
by the "few" difficult verses, But, ALWAYS Always
Interpret the few Obscure/Difficult/Dubious verses
By ALL Of The MANY Plain and Clear Passages Of
God’s Pure And Holy Word!
+
ONE Final Excellent Rule for Knowledgeable Bible study! :

(7) In order to Honor The Father And The SON (John_5:22-23 KJB),
in Preparation For Judgment, Always keep {Uppermost} in mind:

”Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do ALL to The Glory Of God!” (1_Corinthians_10:31 KJB)
-------------------------------
And then we ALL, who are "Called Into Fellowship With
God's SON, The LORD JESUS CHRIST" (1_Corinthians_1:9 KJB),
And,

"Endeavouring For The Unity Of God's Spirit In The Bond Of
PEACE!..." (Ephesians_4:3 KJB), can obey God's Exhortations! :

”...speak...the things which become Sound Doctrine!”
(Titus_2:1 cp "SAME mind And judgment!" 1_Corinthians_1:10 KJB)
Amen?

Would the Results of following All of God’s Rules Above Be:

“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
love, and unto all Riches of the Full Assurance Of Understanding,
to the acknowledgement of The Mystery Of God, and of the Father,
and of CHRIST!” (Colossians_2:2 KJB)?
---------------------

Precious friend(s), Please:

Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, And Edified In
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided
! (+ I and II!)

Grace, Peace, And JOY!

Good post Grace. Jehovah has always educated His people, and expect them to educate their children as well. Today in these last days He has given us the faithful slave to feed us, and we go to His house to receive that education, so we can walk in His paths. Mat 24:45-47; Isa 2:2,3

So Bible study is very critical, may I ask what is one of the first things you share with others when speaking about God sir?
