Since we’ve seen that Bible study is way of looking more closely at a particular verse or passage, this week’s study method does that in spades. The ABCD Bible Study method can be used on just about any portion of Scripture from a few short verses to an entire book. Let’s say we want to examine a chapter more closely and learn more about what’s happening there. The ABCD method will work well for that. Here’s what you do:
- Pray asking for God’s guidance
- Read the passage through several times.
- Now look for these four points:
- A Title
- What would you say is the overall topic of the passage? Write it down.
- Basic truth or verse
- What verse would you say is central to the passage? Write it down.
- Commitment
- What commitment does this passage make on my life? Write it down
- Difficulty
- Was there a portion you saw a difficulty or question with? You may not have anything for this point, and that’s okay. If you do, you can use the other Bible study methods in earlier sessions to solve some of those difficulties.
- Try this on the book of Philemon this week and see what you find.
- A Title
