  6. Introduction to the Inductive Method • Step 1: Observation • What does it say? • Step 2: Interpretation • What does it mean? • Step 3: Application • How does it work?

  7. Step 1: Observation Only look at the words during this step • Look for key terms • What words are used often? • Are locations mentioned? • Is the author identified? • Is the speaker or listener identified? • Are actions directed?

  8. Step 1: Observation • Look for style both literary and grammatical • What kind of literary style is the passage? • How are the sentences structured? • Look for the atmosphere of the writer • Where is the writer while he is writing? • What is the political climate?

  9. Step 2: Interpretation Now look for meaning in the words • Ask questions of the passage • Is there significance to the action? • Are particular people mentioned for a reason? • Why are locations mentioned? • Why is the author writing to the person reading?

  10. Step 3: Application Time to apply the lessons of the scripture • How does the passage work for me? • How can I use this in my life? • How can I use this in my ministry? • How does the passage work for others? Remember this is a very personal part of the process!

  11. Exercise: Acts 1:8 But, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; And you shall be My witnesses Both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest pars of the earth.

  12. The Apostles Future Tense Promise From God There must be a previous passage There is an outward sequence to the locations Verb and Object Not normally linked But, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; And you shall be My witnesses Both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest parts of the earth.

  13. Step 2: Interpretation • Why would Luke include this in his narrative? Does it fit the theme of the book? • What are the disciples feeling right at this time? • Why are Judea and Samaria grammatically linked? • How are the concepts of the receiving the Spirit and being a witness linked?

  14. Step 3: Application • Is this part of the gospel important to me? • Do I sometimes question the intentions of God like the disciples were doing? • Do I sometimes treat others as if they are not worthy (Like the Jews treated the Samaritans)? • Am I doing what I can to walk in the Spirit so that my witness is the kind God would like it to be?

  15. Where to Get More Information • Living by the Book • By Howard and William Hendricks • How to Study Your Bible • Kay Arthur • Discipleship Essentials • Greg Ogden

  16. To Sum Up: • The Bible is God’s revelation to mankind. • Therefore, it must be both readable and understandable. • To understand a passage ask three questions: What does it say? What does it mean? How does it work
