Final Words and Dismissal
1 STEP
Adapted from Saturation Bible Study by Nathan Johnson
FIND A QUIET PLACE TO FOCUS ON KNOWING JESUS THROUGH HIS WORD
Remember, the purpose of Bible study is not merely to gain information but to grow in intimacy with the Author through His Word.
2 STEP
PRAY
Before engaging with the text, ask the Holy Spirit to give you insight, wisdom, and understanding into His Word. Consider using Ephesians 1:17–18 as a Bible study prayer—“God, give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. I pray that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened . . .”.
Take the time before every study to:
• Consecrate your heart and mind
• Surrender your life and will
• Ask for wisdom, insight, and grace to understand
• Commit to obey His Word regardless of how difficult it may be
• Declare that you desire to know Him (not just information) and that you long for the Word to sanctify and transform your life so that you might be conformed to the image of Christ
• Ask for His involvement, grace, and enablement not only in the study but to live it out
3 STEP
CHOOSE A PASSAGE TO FOCUS ON
Recommendations:
Genesis 1–2
Psalm 23
Psalm 136
Matthew 5:1–12
Luke 15
John 4
John 15
Acts 2
Philippians 4:4–9
II Peter 1:1–11

5 STEP STEP
READ THE PASSAGE MULTIPLE TIMES
• Read the passage through (get a “big picture” overview of the passage).
• Read the passage again slowly and consider who is talking, who the audience is, and what the main point or concept of the passage is.
ASK SOME QUESTIONS
Go through the passage and ask some key questions, such as:
• Who, what, when, where, why, how?
• What can you discover from the passage about the original context?
• What was the author of the passage telling his audience?
• What does this passage tell us about the nature and character of God?
• How does this passage fit into the storyline of all Scripture (creation, fall, redemption, restoration, etc.)?
• What questions do you have about the text? Take a moment and ponder any questions you have and see if you can discover answers from the Word.
WRITE A SUMMARY
Based on everything you’ve done so far, write a summary of what the passage meant to the original audience. What is the author saying? What is the key concept (truth principle)?
APPLY IT TO YOUR LIFE
Look back at the summary of your key concept (Step 6). How can you apply the truth principle to your life? Here are some key questions to consider— don’t be general; the more specific you are, the better.
• So what? What does it change in my life?
• What specific changes need to happen for me to live and apply this passage in my life?
• How does this concept apply personally to my life (my emotions, marriage, work, free time, family, thought life, etc.)?
• How will I obey and bring about those changes (by God’s grace and enablement)?
• What is the one verse to commit to memory (that sums up the concept of the passage I studied)?
• What illustration can I create to remind me of the passage and the concept?
• How can I take this passage and concept and turn it into a personal prayer of surrender unto God?
15
• Read the passage again and make note of any repeated words, key themes, or important ideas. 6 STEP 7 STEP
asleep. He then said to them, “What, could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matthew 26:40). Many will find it difficult to spend an hour in prayer until they follow a schedule such as the prayer wheel. Spend at least five minutes on each topic, but allow the Holy Spirit to extend any one.
