Bible study is not complete until a personal application of the passage has been made. The Bible is truth to be lived, not just knowledge to be gained. In making application, look for:
- A command to obey
- A promise to cling to
- An example to follow
- An example to avoid
- A warning to heed
- Advice to embrace
- An attitude to change
- A truth to believe
- A teaching to put into practice
- A sin to repent of
- A character quality to imitate
- A prayer topic
- Something to be thankful for
- A temptation to resist
- An error to avoid
- A perspective to ponder
- A priority to establish
- A tactic to employ
- A verse to memorize
- Something to teach others
