Daily Bible Study: Day Three- 1 John 1:5-10

* Tomorrow we will begin our study of 1 John 2:18-24

Interpretation: What does it mean?
Application: How does it work?

1. Read through 1 John 1:5-10 at least twice.

2. Look over your findings from Day Two and try to answer the question "What does it mean?"

3. Read at least 2 different commentaries on the text. You can follow the same directions that were provided for Day Two for searching on the "Search God's Word" sight. A listing of commentary and notes on the text will be located to the right of the passage. If you have a study Bible you might read over the notes for these verses.

• The reading of commentary should either follow our own study of the text or perhaps when we are having trouble understanding a passage. Believers will never learn how to study the Scriptures for themselves if they are always dependent upon commentary prior to their own reading and study of a text or texts.

4. Now that Observation and Interpretation have taken place it is time to apply the text. Try to answer "How does this text work?" or "How does it apply to the Church and to me as a believer?"
