Get Established in Sound Grace Doctrine | How to Study the Bible



How to Study the Bible #3: Get Established in Sound Grace Doctrine


After you are saved and have decided to exalt God's word above all else, it's important to get established in foundational grace doctrine which is specifically for us today, the church the Body of Christ in the dispensation of grace. The book of Romans establishes the believer. The word established means to be "set; fixed firmly; founded; confirmed." As believers God wants us to be firmly rooted in grace doctrine. The doctrines in Romans that we are to fully know and understand includes:

• Justification
• Eternal Security
• Identification
• Dispensational changes (why God temporarily set aside Israel)
• Service as a Believer
• Authority in the dispensation of grace
• Dealing with weaker brethren by grace
• Glorifying God
• Working in unison with fellow believers

After we are saved, God wants us to know Him, serve Him as sons, and gain rewards in heaven. We are also to study the scriptures rightly divided, which means understanding what scriptures are written specifically to us today (Romans- Philemon) and which scriptures were written to Israel. We read and study the whole Bible, but it's only in the Pauline epistles that are written specifically to us today and the rest of scripture is for our learning.

2 Tim 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

Romans 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.


To begin, start by reading the book of Romans several times with a King James Bible. Then, begin to really study out the book of Romans verse by verse. Reading and studying are different. Reading is to help you get familiar with the word and studying helps you to more closely understand it. I have a series of videos/blogs/podcasts specifically for studying Romans if you would like to learn more, they are available on my blog and YouTube channel. I also recommend doing a simple 15 minutes a day reading the Bible in a Year program. This will help you to get familiar with the whole word of God.

    Devotional | The Gift of Mentoring Women on Biblical Womanhood

    Scripture  Titus 2:3-5 KJB  “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Mentorship is a powerful way for older Christian women to share their wisdom and experience with the younger generation. It is a beautiful expression of discipleship, fostering growth and godliness in the lives of younger women. Reflection:  Older women have a wealth of knowledge and life experience that can greatly benefit younger women. By mentoring, they can provide guidance, support, and encouragement, helping younger women navigate the challenges of life and faith. This relationship is mutually enriching, as it allows older women to fulfill their God-given role of teachin...

    The Spiritual Source of Smartphone Addiction

    When it comes to understanding the spiritual nature of our smartphone addiction, we need to first of all understand that Satan is the “god of this world” today. He is also known as the “prince of the power of the air” (think not just heavenly places but also airwaves, wifi etc!). Satan is a master deceiver. Though the internet, social media and our smartphones can be used in productive ways to help spread the gospel, it can definitely also be used in unproductive and even harmful ways. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” - 2 Cor 4:4 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:’ - Eph 2:2 Satan will use several things to try to wreck our spiritual lives including: Constant Distraction At its core, smartphone add...

    Getting Ready for Autumn Hello dear Sisters in Christ, Today I decorated my house for Autumn. I know it's not officially Autumn yet, but I look forward to this time of the year especially after long hot summers here in Southern Nevada.  I also wore autumn colors today. A Claret colored floral top and a long brown skirt. My planner - time to plan for September! I wanted to share a Picture of a cute doll my husband bought me earlier in the year- he saw it when shopping and said it looked like me! Haha so he bought it. I told him I would wear a similar outfit lol! This little bear came with the doll I recently watched a few films - one was Out of Africa. It's one of my favorites. Starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The cinematography and soundtrack are amazing. It inspired me to wear this outfit ... I was inspired by this outfit below and I realize it's not quite the same lol, but I did my best with what I have.  More outfits from the film.  The real Karen Blixen that ...
