The Bible: How Do You Understand It?
The Gospel
We have been investigating what it means to understand the Bible as God's Word to us. That raises the question of how to read and study Scripture in a way that enables us to catch its intended meaning. This message provides a practical framework for understanding and applying what the ancient text of Scripture says to us as followers of Jesus today.
Inductive Bible Study
The Bible declares that it is the voice of God recorded for the benefit of His creation. If you have a desire to study the Bible, it is because God wants to speak to you. God’s primary means of speaking to mankind is through the Bible. No matter what other people say about God, or experiences you or others have, it all must be tested by the Word of God, the Bible. Inductive Bible study is the best way to become established in God’s word.
Observation, Interpretation, & Application.
For decades, InterVarsity’s ministry on campus has centered around manuscript Bible study, invented by InterVarsity staff Paul Byer in the 1950s. Manuscript study contains the three aspects of inductive Bible study: observation, interpretation, and application.
The Message of Romans: The Bible Speaks Today
When Paul first penned his letter to the house churches of Rome, his purpose was to gain prayerful support for his coming mission to the western reaches of the Mediterranean world. Little did he know that for two millennia this tautly tuned exposition of the gospel would echo through church and academy, market and home. Or that it would leap great oceans to reverberate through lands and hearts beyond the farthest edges of his world.

Paul’s Magnus Opus
In his letter to the Roman church, Paul makes clear the problem of sin. The people of Israel tried to obey God and follow the law, but they failed, generation after generation. But Jesus made a new way for redemption and brokered a new convenant. Only faith in Jesus can redeem humanity and restore God's plan for his people.
Through Jesus, God created a new covenant family that includes Jews and Gentiles who are unified as they love and forgive each other.
