Exegesis and Hermeneutics

Exegesis and hermeneutics. Both are essential…if you want to be a good student of God’s Word.

Exegesis deals with what the Bible says. Hermeneutics deals with what the Bible means.

It’s like crossing a bridge — knowing what was said…and then what it means.

When you read a passage found in the Bible…ask yourself what the author intended to communicate. Then take the second step – and deal with interpretation.

The Bible is a reliable guide for life. It is comprehensive and relevant. But…it must be properly understood.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Let this be a top priority in your life – to grasp the context of Scripture…and then properly apply it to your life.
