A simple toolbox to study the Bible consists of the faithful translation of Scripture, two or three different scripture translations takes notes as you read, consult other translations, Bible Atlas, a notebook Bible in addition to one-volume commentary. Thus, as a Bible student, this toolbox will assist in understanding the Scriptures. Further, “Everyday Bible Study”, teaches how to reply to the Holy Spirit ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ughBmfJl","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2559,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/CLJTF3X4"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/CLJTF3X4"],"itemData":{"id":2559,"type":"book","title":"Everyday Bible Study","publisher":"Lifeway Church Resources","URL":"https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=cRVYDQEACAAJ","ISBN":"978-1-4336-5064-2","author":[{"family":"Gutierrez","given":"B."},{"family":"Hulshof","given":"C."},{"family":"Cartwright","given":"P.

A student can also learn the use of multiple translations of the Bible to grow in his faith. The key skill for this purpose can be observation. Christians lack the observation in Bible study as they do not have a close acquaintance with the Bible. However, observations can be improved through translation analysis that helps in identifying the significant information in a passage. Commentaries also have a noteworthy value as these encourage daily devotional understanding of the Bible. Moreover, Bible study should be started with prayer and inviting the Holy Spirit. One should confess and repent on any known sin as sins deter our understanding of God’s message. Call to Holy Spirit will illuminate Bible message in our heart and mind. A student must understand the three roles that the Holy Spirit should play concerning the Bible. Inspiration helps in understanding the God message. Illumination allows believers to grip God’s message. In addition, sanctification, convert believers and they repent of their sins so they can be forgiven. There are two important practical applications related to the illuminating ministry of the Holy Spirit. First, as believers, we must acknowledge that it is the Holy Spirit who teaches us his Word ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Xk0JchWs","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2559,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/CLJTF3X4"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/CLJTF3X4"],"itemData":{"id":2559,"type":"book","title":"Everyday Bible Study","publisher":"Lifeway Church Resources","URL":"https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=cRVYDQEACAAJ","ISBN":"978-1-4336-5064-2","author":[{"family":"Gutierrez","given":"B."},{"family":"Hulshof","given":"C."},{"family":"Cartwright","given":"P.

We should not approach the Bible arrogantly, as if the act of spiritual understanding comes through self-effort.
