PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES
This workbook will teach you how to complete a devotional Bible
study and apply it to the four areas of your relationship with God,
your life, your relationships with others, and the church. This method
of Bible study emphasizes the use of the Bible to change your life.
Bible study can become dead and lifeless unless you apply what
you learn. The devotional method of Bible study encourages you to
make meaningful application of what you study. You still have an
interest in the facts and truths of a passage of Scripture, but your
primary emphasis is on ways the passage can change your life. This
method depends on a spirit of eagerness to do God’s will and to let
God’s message change your life.
4 STEPS FOR DEVOTIONAL BIBLE STUDY
1. Always begin with exactly what the passage means.
If you don’t understand what a passage is saying, your application
can be wrong.
Read Ephesians 4:26. Write what the verse means.
In Ephesians 4:26 Paul was not urging us to show anger based on
petty feelings or wounded pride. Paul knew that righteous anger
exists. He also knew that this kind of anger can quickly change
into anger that is selfish and uncontrolled. Paul was warning us
against letting our righteous anger get out of control. Application
of a passage must rely on correct interpretation of its meaning.

2. Evaluate the kind of passage you are trying to apply.
3. Relate the passage to others on the same subject.
You must know whether a passage is talking about a truth that is
timeless or temporary. Timeless truth applies to people of any
time or circumstance. Temporary truth applies only to a specific
individual or group at a specific point in history.
This increases your understanding of the meaning of the passage
you are studying. Read Matthew 7:7. Jesus’ teachings on prayer
suggest that those who keep on asking can expect God to answer
their prayers.
Read the following verses and indicate for each whether its
truth is timeless or temporary.
Read James 4:3 and 1 John 5:14-15. Summarize the ways they
change the way you would apply Matthew 7:7.
James 4:3:
Leviticus 11:1-7
❑ Temporary
❑ Timeless
Luke 20:25
❑ Temporary
❑ Timeless
The application of some Old Testament verses is affected by
information from the New Testament. The food restrictions of
Leviticus 11 may contain helpful health information about eating.
However, in Mark 7:19 Jesus declared that following those laws is
not necessary in our spiritual lives. Some Bible passages, like Luke
20:25, describe a condition we may not face today. However, the
principle that was used in the Bible to face the condition in the first
century may still be valid today. For example, we are not ruled by
Caesar today, but God expects us to give both to the government
and to God.
1 John 5:14-15:
Such passages as James 4:3 and 1 John 5:14-15 give other factors to
consider in seeking answers to prayer. You will want to modify your
understanding of Matthew 7:7 in light of such passages’ teachings.

4. Determine ways the passage can be applied.
A passage can be applied in many ways. You may learn a truth about
God that you can apply to the political, economic, or social arena.
You may find a truth about yourself that can give you a higher call
of commitment to God’s will. You may discover insights that will
change your attitudes toward and relationships with coworkers,
neighbors, and even enemies. You may learn goals and challenges
you can pray into reality in your church.
LET’S PRACTICE DEVOTIONAL
BIBLE STUDY
Scripture reference:
Summary of the passage’s meaning/teaching:
Begin a devotional study of Ephesians 4:32, following steps
1–3 above. Complete the next two pages titled “Let’s Practice
Devotional Bible Study” to record your responses.

LET’S PROCESS
First, there is no single way to write a summary or the main
teaching of Ephesians 4:32. An interesting fact about devotional
Bible study is that the summary of the passage and its teachings
will reflect the needs a person feels most deeply. We don’t know
what you wrote in your practice area, but you probably dealt with
questions like these.
• What happens if the person or persons I think I need to forgive
do not want my forgiveness?
• Is my forgiving another person the same as God’s forgiving
that person?
• Does forgiving a person mean that I act as if that person had
never wronged me?
8
9
Next, what did you decide about the timeliness of the passage? Is
its truth temporary or timeless? The teaching in this passage is a
timeless truth. This passage contains a truth that God intends for
us to apply fully today.
The next step in your study was to identify related passages that
you could compare with the passage you were studying. Some
of the more prominent New Testament passages that deal with
forgiveness are Matthew 5:23-24; 18:15; Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60;
and Colossians 3:13.
5 STEPS TO APPLYING A DEVOTIONAL
BIBLE STUDY
When you do devotional Bible study, you should continually ask
yourself, How can I use this Bible truth in my life? Let’s complete
the study by finding ways you can apply this passage to your
relationship with God, to your life, to your relationships with
others, and to the church. Follow these steps to apply devotional
Bible study.
1. Pray that God will give you insight about the
application of the passage.
10
11
2. Meditate on the passage.
3. Write specific, practical ways the passage can be applied.
As you meditate, try to imagine how you might apply the passage.
In the case of Ephesians 4:32, consider someone you need to
forgive. What attitude must you overcome to offer forgiveness?
How can you express forgiveness? In person? By a telephone call?
Via email? With a letter? What can you do to demonstrate that your
forgiveness is genuine? Let me suggest a simple device you can
use to direct your meditation. As you meditate, ask yourself five
questions, which form the acrostic PEACE. As you pray, ask
yourself:
Think of specific and practical ways to apply the passage to your
relationship with God, to your life, to your relationships with others,
and to the church. Merely saying, “I will be more forgiving” is not
specific enough. Offering to express forgiveness to everyone who
has ever sinned against you is not practical.
Is there any—
Promise to claim or praise to offer God?
Example to follow or avoid?
Action or attitude to change?
Command to obey?
Error to avoid?
12
13
4. Memorize the verse or verses you have studied.
When you memorize Ephesians 4:32, this verse will become a tool
God can continually use to help you in the process of forgiving
others. The challenge of forgiveness requires time for mastery, and
continual help is essential. You can reference the section of this
workbook titled “7 Steps to Memorizing Scripture” on page 18 for
more practical tips.
5. Put the application into practice.
In the matter of forgiveness you may need to visit someone, make a
phone call, or write a letter to express forgiveness to someone who
may have harmed or injured you. Avoid saying to someone, “If I’ve
done anything wrong, I want to apologize.” Specifically mention
the incident that demands forgiveness. Also, it is best if you admit
negative thoughts about a person only to God. Mentioning them to
the other person will cause him to wonder what you are thinking.

GOING FURTHER
Complete “Let’s Practice Applying Devotional Bible Study” on
the following pages. Make your application of Ephesians 4:32 by
following the steps you studied today. Be sure to allow adequate
time for the meditation process, using the PEACE acrostic, and
for writing applications to the four areas of your life.
Devotional Bible study is a great way to apply the Bible to your
relationship with God, to your life, to your relationships with others,
and to the church. Applying the truths of God’s Word to your life
should be the end result of all Bible study. That is a significant way
you grow to be more like your Master Teacher, Jesus Christ.

7 STEPS TO MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE
Following these seven easy steps will make Scripture memory a
meaningful and effective discipline that will enhance your spiritual
growth.
1. Begin with a positive attitude.
Many think they can’t memorize, but Philippians 4:13 says you
can do all things through Christ. If you can memorize phone
numbers and addresses, you can memorize Scripture.
2. Glue the reference to the first words.
To remember both the verse and the reference, say the reference
and the first words without pausing. For example, “Philippians
4:13—I can do all things.”
4. Review, review, review.
This is the master secret to memorization. Use memory cards to
review. Say the verse as quickly and accurately as possible. After
memorizing, review the verse every day for 90 days, weekly for
the next six weeks, then monthly for the rest of your life. The best
review is using the verse in your life or to help another person.
5. Meditate on the verse.
Meditation can increase your grasp of the passage’s teaching
and its application. Experience Christ as that verse’s truth works
in you. Think of ways the verse can be lived.
6. Use spare time wisely.
Carry Scripture-memory cards with you to use during your spare
time, such as when exercising or waiting in line.
3. Memorize bite by bite.
Repeat the verse to the end of the first phrase, ending with the
reference. For example, “Philippians 4:13—I can do all things—
Philippians 4:13.” Say that over and over until you have it
memorized. Then repeat what you have learned and add the
next phrase, still starting and ending with the reference:
“Philippians 4:13—I can do all things through Him—Philippians
4:13” and so on. Memorizing a verse phrase by phrase is easy
because you are learning only five or six words at a time. Learn
the verse word-perfect this way.
18
7. Team with a friend.
Listen to each other’s verse, checking the Bible or Scripturememory card for accuracy.

4 BIBLE STUDY TOOLS THAT
WILL HELP YOU DIG DEEPER
1. Bible Concordance:
A Bible concordance is an index that tells you where words
occur in the Bible… The abridged concordance in the back of your
reference Bible… doesn’t have all the words from the whole Bible
in it, just the words you might use to look up a familiar passage…
For example… you could look under “Virgin” or “Conceive,” and
it would point you to Isaiah 7:14, where it says, “the virgin will
conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel”… Comprehensive
and exhaustive concordances… include almost every word in the
Bible, but the exhaustive concordance also connects the English
word to the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek word it was translated from.
2. Bible Dictionary:
Like an encyclopedia, a Bible dictionary contains brief articles
(in alphabetic order) about the people, places, and customs of the
Bible. It also has articles about individual books of the Bible—who
wrote them, when they were written, and what they’re about. It
also explains biblical words and concepts like grace, faith, prayer,
the church, Abba, and abomination. There are usually articles, too,
on basic things Christians need to know about the Bible, like the
canon and how the Bible came to exist.
3. Bible Commentaries:
Bible commentaries are a written, systematic series of
explanations and interpretations of Scripture. Commentaries
often analyze or expound on individual books of the Bible,
chapter by chapter and verse by verse.
4. Bible Handbook:
Handbooks take each book of the Bible and give an overview
and summary of that book. They are arranged in the same order
as the books of the Bible. So if a person was studying a given
book, he could go to the handbook and get a 30,000-foot view
of that book … For the novice, it gives an accessible overview that
provides a context as they read and study the details of the book.
For the experience Bible student, it can serve as a reminder of a
wider perspective they may have lost sight of in their focus on
details of a given book.

DAILY READING PLAN
In this daily reading plan from the Rev. Robert Murray M’Cheyne, you’ll read through the Bible in a
year (going through the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice). M’Cheyne suggested
that the passages in the left column be read as a family and those in the right column individually.
Over the course of the year, you’ll strengthen your relationship with God and with other believers
as you pursue truth through His Word.
