Hermeneutics

The lectures in this module are designed to teach a believer how to interpret and study the Bible himself. Paul wrote, in 2 Timothy, chapter 2, and verse 15, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” In this pas- sage, our gaze is set on the Lord himself, not the applause or favor of men. We’re to strive to please the Lord, the Master we serve, and to labor in a manner that does not bring shame.

When we speak about studying words and grammar, some people may question whether this is really that important. But remember the foundational truths we learned in an earlier lecture—the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. Every single syllable is given to us by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, every letter in Scripture has great importance to us. This leads us to the conclusion that we must carefully study the Words that God has given to us.
