Our attitude is the most important thing when it comes to Bible study
We need a Teachable spirit
Avoid becoming like the Jew who Jesus said to stop thinking you gain eternal life from just reading the scriptures - John 5:39-40
We need a Spirit of dependence
Proverbs 2 - We should call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding
God has hidden things from the "wise" and revealed them to children
Childlike simplicity and humility go hand-in-hand with teachable spirit
Self-opinionated are neither dependent nor teachable
We need to be diligent
Proverbs 2 describes this attitude:
Applying your heart to understanding
Looking for it as for silver
Searching for it as for hidden treasure
Searching scriptural truth is valuable and worth digging out
Digging is labor intensive Key Phrase:Searching scriptural truth is valuable and worth digging out
