Podcast:The Daily Grace Podcast Published On: Tue Apr 29 2025 Description: Emma and Suzanne discuss the Inductive Bible Study Method and how you can apply this method to a 15 minute Bible study routine. Inductive Bible Study Method: Observe Observe = What does the text say? Pick 1-2 of these to observe in the text: Attributes of God Repeated words Lists Comparisons/contrasts Questions Commands Transition words Unfamiliar words Interpret Interpret = What does the text mean? Interpretation looks at: Historical Context Literary Context Metanarrative of the Bible Redemptive History Ask yourself these questions in interpretation: What questions do you have about the text? Tip: This is where study Bibles and commentaries are really helpful! If you were to summarize the passage in one sentence, what would you say? Apply Apply = What does the text mean for me today? Ask yourself these questions: What does this passage teach us about God? What does this passage teach us about humanity? Is there a command I need to obey? How does this point to Christ? Tips for finding the Christ connection: Does it show a need for Christ? Is there a promise or prophecy about Christ? Is Christ present in the text?
