This week the reading is about, how to develop the main idea of the Bible passage in order to communicate God’s word to others. For this one is required to develop the expositional outline. This is an outline that is developed for the text itself. For example, “I say then: walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5: 16) ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"bTfQR29m","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Gutierrez, Hulshof, & Cartwright, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Gutierrez, Hulshof, & Cartwright, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2685,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/GIDXYHYG"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/GIDXYHYG"],"itemData":{"id":2685,"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.

Here the outline will consist of observations related to the desires of the flesh.

After the successful establishment of the outline, one can move towards the introduction, which is aimed to arouse the interest. Then conclusions are required to draw which are the personal opinions and assist the listeners in making different decisions. Thus, the main idea is the effective communication of God’s message. The other is the observation which is the most important phase during Bible study ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a8sPaHty","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2685,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/GIDXYHYG"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/GIDXYHYG"],"itemData":{"id":2685,"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.

Careful observation tells you what is said, and how it is said. Thirdly, one must be able to interpret the meaning in Bible passages.

This week readings have taught about how to make observations while reading a Bible passage. The first step in observation is choosing an interesting topic. Second is the creation of all related words. Step 3 gathers the list of all Bible passages that have these words. Then all references are read to make different observations. After the thorough study of all references then observations are organized ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Vzl7cGtQ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Gutierrez et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2685,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/GIDXYHYG"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/GIDXYHYG"],"itemData":{"id":2685,"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.

The other thing that I learned from this week readings is how to create a book of Bible study. For this one must select a book and read repeatedly. Then record the thoughts and general impressions to discover the background information. This will generate an outline of the book and assist in interpreting the theme of the book.

One way of applying what learned in these readings is the change that will come in my life. I will be more obedient to God as well as will grow in Jesus Christ. For example, when I have acknowledged character then I can apply it to my life. I can become such a person who is desired by the Bible.
