Lesson 5: Word Study
Series: How to Study the Bible
[10 Powerful Ways to Study the Bible]
Psalm 119:160 (KJV) – “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”
In Lesson 5, we explored the importance of Word Study as a method for gaining deeper insight into Scripture.
We learned that studying key words in their original Hebrew or Greek context can reveal rich layers of meaning that are often lost in translation.
This method helps us better understand the character of God, the intent of Scripture, and how to apply biblical truth to our daily lives.
We discussed how to use tools such as concordances, lexicons, and Bible dictionaries to trace the original meanings and usage of words throughout Scripture. Emphasis was placed on the need for careful interpretation—seeking not just definitions, but the contextual significance of words within verses and chapters.
Psalm 119:160 reminds us that God’s Word is eternally true. Understanding His Word more deeply equips us to walk in that truth more faithfully.
When we dig into individual words of the Bible, we don’t just increase our knowledge—we deepen our relationship with the Author. Word study invites us to slow down, reflect, and absorb the eternal truths of Scripture with clarity and conviction.
