ONE THING
the
Bible Study Plan
WE NEED JESUS. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Follow the five simple step plan to meet with Jesus today.
OPTION 1
READ ONE VERSE
& WRITE IT DOWN
-
Choose a book of the Bible and read or listen to the entire chapter.
-
Focus on the first verse, sentence, or paragraph, writing it out word for word. The following day, you will read the chapter again and move your attention to the next verse (or phrase).
OPTION 2
-
Read through your normal Bible reading plan. Prayerfully ask the Lord to direct you to the verse or truth He has for you that day.
RESTATE IN
YOUR OWN WORDS
-
Write down the verse, but this time, write it in your own words.
-
Go word by word and without interpretation.
-
Use different, equivalent words.
-
Ask: "How would I reword this verse so a 5-year old child can understand? "
RESEARCH TRUTHS
FROM GOD'S WORDS
-
Quiet your heart and listen to God's voice.
-
Look at your verse and ask questions.
1. What does it say about God or Jesus?
-
What is God like?
-
What is true about Him?
-
What did He do?
2. What does it say about man?
-
Are there any promises to claim?
-
Any sin to confess?
-
How I compare to God?
-
You may want to journal more about what God is saying in this passage and how it relates to your life.
RESPOND WITH AN
I WILL STATEMENT
-
Be a doer of the Word by making a decision to respond to what God is teaching you.
-
Finish the following statements:
Because God is _____________________
Because Man is _____________________
Today, I will _________________________
-
Be as specific as you can.
-
Do not say, "I will trust God".
-
Ask: "How will I trust God today?"
-
-
Make your "I will" so practical that you know you did your "I will statement" in 24 hours.
SHARE WITH
ONE PERSON
-
Write down someone you will share your "I will statement"with and then share it!
-
It is incredible how the Lord uses something simple like this to help and encourage others. And in many cases, it is a perfect bridge to the gospel.
ONE PERSON. ONE TRUTH. ONE ACTION.
We all need to do more than just read God’s word. Go beyond just figuring out what it says and means—put it in your life, depending on the Lord to help you by His grace. God’s Word changes who we are so we might be more like Jesus!
That’s it. You CAN meet with Jesus every day! The next day, listen or read to the chapter again, then go to the next verse or phrase. Every day listen or read the same chapter until you get through the entire chapter: verse by verse, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph. This will mean that you could listen to that same chapter up to 20 times depending on how many verses are in the chapter.
