The first day of school is always exciting and this is no exception. Several old classmates have joined and others are soon to follow. The Bible Study is open for comments. The moderator - T-Bone - will post comments.
WELCOME: to 1 John; our Book to study, we are all students, and we will all profit from the study of God and His Word. This prayerful study will bring us into close fellowship with God and other believers.
INTRODUCTION: Let us pray. "Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy Law." This study may take different forms, as our Lord leads; but to begin today, let us try to work from an expository model.
For any that may not be familiar with the method of expository study, let me give a partial definition. The study is based on a passage of Scripture, which seeks to draw a concise and comprehensive theme and points, and applies to the lives of the people.
A.P. Gibbs has likened expository to a wheel. The main theme of the passage is the hub. The contributing thoughts in the passage are the spokes. The Word of God speaks for itself when presented in this way.
T-Bone says, "Class, are we ready to begin?"
Class says, "Amen!"
