How to Study the Bible (2020 update) - Verse Mapping John

[@ebenise32]

I’ve been struggling with bible study and this will truly help me in that area. Thank you so much . Please continue to do these videos . God bless 🤗

[@castlenovelist97BOOKS]

It helps if you sit down with a pencil or a pen and write it all down in a notebook quietly to yourself so no one can see you.

[@castlenovelist97BOOKS]

I've sat in quiet places before and written things down quietly to myself. It helps if you can hear yourself think clearly and you're not around anybody else when you're writing it all down in a notebook. People don't bother you while you're writing in a notebook as much.

[@brighteyes6585]

Before I even saw this, I had a Christian Bible study board called nerdy word 😄👍 love your videos!

[@karenarmendariz2858]

I'm 54 and just came back to Bible reading, I say came back because I was always frustrated trying to understand the full underlying meanings of God's word so I was away from trying to read it . I also had a bit of a time with alot of words and their meaning. Watching your method has made a huge difference in how I understand the word and meaning now. Thank you for being a word nerd lol, and giving me a new perspective on studying the Bible! I am greatful.

[@TheWordNerd]

You're very welcome! This is why I make videos! Grow in the knowledge and grace of Jesus! ❤

[@SacredTreasurez]

I have been binge watching this channel and making journals and studying Gods word through the helpful information given here. It has changed me life drastically in the last week already. So much revelation. This was God sent and I am sooo happy He led me to this channel. Again sooo underrated ❤️❤️

[@TheWordNerd]

Thank you so much! God is So Good!

[@morganmattes1657]

Wow... I kinda just thought verse mapping was just finging verses that were similar to the one you’re working on.... it is so much more, i am so happy I watched this!

[@TheWordNerd]

Awesome, check out my other how to Verse map videos! This one slows it down even more 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5acY4iZo5mmiNk

Thank you very much lots of blessings for you, thank you for your teaching and the perfect way you gave steps by steps I did get it, before your video I was so confused others teach not to my beginning of study. Thank you blessings

[@robertgoff8645]

Hi! I want to thank you for making this Video! I have been reading my Bible but I wanted to do more than just read. I wanted to dive deeper and grow more. This has really been a blessing to me! I plan to show my daughter this and maybe get her growing more in the Word as well. Again thank you so much. May God bless you and keep you. ~Jessica Goff

[@TheWordNerd]

Thank you! That's awesome! I have a new template and guide to help beginners that might help. 😊 check out those videos! 🥰

[@ngonigriffith1491]

Thank you for the video! I have been using your style of verse mapping since last year. It is helping me to dive deeper into the Bible.

[@TheWordNerd]

Awesome thanks for commenting!!🥰

[@momofmanda]

You have been a Precept leader! I taught for 10 years before I moved, and I am about to return to being a Precept leader. Inductive study was life-changing for my spiritual growth.

[@AimeeHope89]

Studying the word is so much fun. I keep learning new things to add to my study time, and I think this one will be just awesome. Thanks for sharing this quick and easy explanation to get us started! God bless you!

[@bethanyhall1524]

I loved this video! I have never really verse mapped..I've studied deep with lots of word study and cross reference and commentary study. This was fun and a nice change. I definitely plan to do this more and even teach my kids how to do this. Thank you for the great video!💐

[@TheWordNerd]

Thank you so much! My kids enjoy the marking and different colors! 😄

[@Kuuppon]

Best way to study the bible so far. Been all over YT to figure it out and you break it down simply. Thanks, I'll be applying this method going forward in my journey.

My heart is soaring! I am so happy that I found your channel.

[@TheIndianaFamily]

Great study! I love verse mapping! I like how you do a definition first of the words then a context then application. I will be adding these in to mine

[@stephaniecastro984]

This is awesome! I’ve struggled with studying the Bible, but something with this process just clicked. Thank you for doing this!

[@la-quandanorwood5158]

So happy I came across this video. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@halwiggam5465]

An even stronger method is using a bible dictionary. Depending on the translation you use can totally change the meaning of what you read. Example compass is defined as surround. The bible says compass but the word is not the same translation from what we use today. It will use the Greek and Hebrew word and give you a series of bible verses that match that true meaning given.

[@TheWordNerd]

I use the KJV, i have not had an issue with my definitions. But I have updated how I choose definitions by doing a word study on the word first, which you can see in my newer videos.

[@karenc.8622]

WOW!!!! AMAZING VIDEO! I loved how you simplified verse mapping into manageable steps. Thanks so much and God bless! Will definitely share with others. :)

[@laviniayochebed1603]

I would say : Please, God, help me to know when I should let my feelings govern my action and when I should not. For instance, if you see a person in need and your feelings tell you to help, then you surely should act by your feelings.

[@TheWordNerd]

Yes but I wudnt say that is your feelings, that is your conscience, your knowledge its is good, to help those in need. Of course feelings can go with that but checking with your conscience is always best 😊

[@jenniepineda7430]

[@bethkellish5229]

Thank you for your video! I am struggling with Verse Mapping. I am new to Bible Studying and Verse Mapping, I am finding it difficult to determine/put together the "application" piece of the study. As there are people who understand how to pull out information or apply English methods, I am the total opposite, I am a numbers nerd, so Verse Mapping is challenging for me. I took a bunch of notes and hope to do well on my next verse. Thank you again Sister!

[@TheWordNerd]

I wasn't a word or English person either but God is a very good teacher! ☺

[@dcimo9446]

Thank you so much for your content. The cross references of verses… are those related to verses for definitions or do they represent something else? Thank you and God bless🙏🏻

[@TheWordNerd]

🥰 Cross references have the same topic or theme of the verse or can explain a meaning of a word in the verse

[@josuevillar2650]

Thank you ...Godbless you

[@Ursy579]

Excellent video! Love your “vibe” for lack of a better word. Question.... what is the purpose of defining common words that we know the meaning of? Thanks!

[@TheWordNerd]

although we may understanding the meaning of a word when read or hear it. the definition dives deeper then our own understanding, it gives a full scope of a words meaning. and allows us greater understanding of what God is saying through His Word. :)

Hope this helps! 🥰

[@kenfhill84083]

Thanks. Lots of good stuff. Lots of good effort. One question though - with the resources you mentioned (e.g., Blue Letter Bible) why not define the words using an online Greek lexicon rather than an English dictionary - since the New Testament was written in Greek?

[@TheWordNerd]

The simplest answer is bc I dnt know greek, and the bible I read is in English, and so I need English definitions. Translation is trying to find and english word for the greek word, its not perfect but its what we have. I also do more in depth word studies now and make sure I take into account the Greek as much as I can but I dnt read greek.

[@kenfhill84083]

@@TheWordNerd Sorry. I wasn't very clear. The lexicons are not written in Greek. But they give the meanings for the original language words being translated to English. I do not know Greek (or Hebrew) either but the lexicons give a small peek under the hood that I have often found to be helpful, though not necessary. Sorry if I caused any offense - non intended.

[@TheWordNerd]

@@kenfhill84083 oh no, no offense at all, I know they re in English, I just mean word studies do go into the Greek, but yes I can see they giving in sight.

Very helpful to make it like a mindmap ! But I object to your "claiming" things from God. We have no right to "claim" anything - we can only humble ourselves and pray knowing God will gracefully be giving us the spiritual favors He knows we need.

[@TheWordNerd]

We are not claiming "things" we claim promises. Promises are Declarations God has already given us access too as His Child. Claiming them are reminding us His promises are for us and helps us remember He is a Good Father because Je supplies us with all we need.

[@ing-mariekoppel1637]

I find most word definitions completely unnecessary . Most people know what a thief is. I do not need to use paper space for this. I would save word definitions for words that are unknown to me. And I wd use the space to deep dive into the words in Hebrew and Greek.
