S3 Ep 307 Trust the Context When You Study

When you study your Bible you will sometimes come across a verse that is hard to understand on its own. The phrasing may be different from what you are used to. The verse may be talking about things normal for ancient times or first century time, but not at all normal for modern times. The words may just be weird! Good thing God prepared His word to be timeless! In today's episode Angela looks at several contexts that some have described as "being hard to understand what is meant". she walks through exploring the context to see how God fills in the blanks that may seem to be in one verse. Learn how to use the context to explain hard to understand verses or concepts. God is the best author and His own best commentator. Trust the context He has provided. Scriptures looked at in the episode are: Matthew 7:1-5 Phillipians 4:10-20 Genesis 39:1-6 John 6:26-65 Mentioned in this episode: S3 Ep 302 Study Like the Bereans S3 Ep 306 Building Layers in Your Bible Study How to Study the Bible Using a Bible Marking System S1 Ep 101 Let's Talk about Diligence The Diligent Life Community on Locals Send questions and comments to The Diligent Woman here If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on your favorite podcast app. Comment with your thoughts and questions to join the conversation.
