Life Application Study Bible
The Life Application Study Bible has notes that help to provide the reader with insight into the meaning of scripture, contains maps, charts, and diagrams, as well as a dictionary-concordance. Historical facts at the beginning of each book help the reader to understand more about the author and time period in which the book was written. Newer versions contain a yearly reading plan so that Christians can easily read the chosen scriptures for each day of the year. Family Bible studies will become more meaningful when using materials that provide more insight into each verse. When a family chooses to put God first and study His word everyday then God will bless and enrich their lives. "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it" (Proverbs 10:22).
People who have difficulty understanding the scriptures will find that a Life Application Study Bible will make scripture come alive. With the dictionary-concordance a reader can easily find answers to questions. A better understanding will help the reader to grow spiritually closer to the Lord. Challenges in life can be referenced to the word of God more easily as topics can be looked up quickly. Applying God's word to real life circumstances can make a tremendous difference on a person's outlook. Having a new perspective on daily problems will bring peace to the storms in life.
Prayer and worship are two subjects that are important to approach with Family Bible studies. God's word relays the importance of prayer and worship in a Christian's life. Without these two important components spiritual growth will be stymied. The scriptures instruct Christians to pray continually or pray without ceasing (I Thessalonians 5:17). Worship is important and is greatly blessed when there are two or more participants. The family that prays and worships God together will stay together. The family unit is a God ordained assembly that can provide support needed for each person to stay strong and immoveable.
Acquiring knowledge in scriptures is essential but learning how to apply the scriptures to real life is much more essential. A Life Application Study Bible provides illustrations that make each verse relevant for today. Sometimes when reading the Bible a person may see the context of the time period and not realize that the verse is as relevant today as it was back then. God's word is living and active, it can be applied as well today as it was in the past. This is possible when there are many study helps along the way. A reader should take the time to read all of the notes and use the other resources to gain as much knowledge and relevancy as possible. Scripture is full of timeless truths that withstand the test of time.
Stories in the Bible can help to bring clarity especially in the stories that Jesus told in the New Testament. Family Bible Studies should include some of these illustrations so that everyone can understand the message behind the story. The Parables of Jesus include stories about the prodigal son, the rich man, the lost sheep, sowing seed, the weeds and the tares, wicked tenants, and include illustrations about Heaven. When a person is taught these stories they can be reminders throughout one's life that serve to make better choices. One example would be with the rich man who loved his possessions so much that he could not sell them in order to serve Jesus. This story reminds us that being rich and having too many possessions can take over one's life. Jesus warns us to be careful about becoming greedy. Having a relationship with Christ is the most important thing and the most important decision that a person can make.
Another parable story that gives a really good illustration of what Heaven is like is the story about the man who owned a vineyard. This story teaches that Heaven is not about competing for a better place. A Life Application Study Bible helps a person when trying to understand parables because the illustrations and the concordance all add to the stories in a truthful and positive way. The story illustrates that no matter what time the workers were hired they all received the same wages at the end of the day. This teaches that everyone will be treated the same in Heaven.
Taking turns planning a Bible study can be fun for each member of a family. Choose a theme for the week and look up scriptures that pertain to the theme. Family Bible studies can so much fun when every single person gets a chance to plan the lessons. The Internet has some great ideas and they can be found by doing a search through one of the major search engines. In addition, there are many sites that provide some very good ideas for home Bible studies and even for extracurricular activities.
Sites on the Web offer many choices when it comes to shopping for a good study Bible. A Life Application Study Bible can be purchased in different translations. The more expensive ones have leather binding and covers. These make great gifts and can be purchased for every family member to make study time much more productive. In addition to family lessons, parents should encourage their children to have personal lessons or devotions at least once a day. A child can write down questions when doing personal lessons and the entire family can participate in finding the answers to their questions.
