Learning how to study your Bible is important, but equally important is answering the questions of the why and the what.  Why are you studying? What are you looking for in its pages?  In John 5:39, Jesus tells the Pharisees, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.” (NKJV) Other versions translate “search” as “pore over” (CSB), “study” (NIV), and “search and keep on searching” (AMP).  It’s clear they were committed to the study of Scripture, yet they was so fixated on their
