The document provides a multi-step process for studying the Bible systematically: 1. Start with prayer and an open mindset of seeking God rather than oneself. Read whole books in one sitting without distractions to get an overview. 2. Study books and chapters in order, asking what the passage means in its context by considering who wrote it, to whom, when, where, how it applied originally, and how it applies today. 3. Reflect on how the meaning convicts, encourages, or reveals areas for growth and change; and determine what can be taught to others from what was learned.
