Seven Directive Questions

To get more out of our study of the God's Holy Word, it is helpful to ask seven questions:

In this passage of Scripture ...

1. Is there an example for me to follow (pattern for life)?
2. Is there a sin for me to avoid?
3. Is there a command for me to obey?
4. Is there a promise for me to claim?
5. What does this passage teach me about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, salvation, etc.?
6. Is there something difficult for me to understand that I need to study further?
7. Is there something that I should pray about today?
