Bible Study

 

In my studies of the Bible, as well as using it in the content that I post, I often use different websites to help me. Not only to understand scripture but the ability to make what I am trying to say-make sense to those that will read it.

In so doing, of course-we should be careful about what sites we go to look for biblical information. As with everything, not everything can be trusted.

And so, for today's blog, I thought I would go to my very favorite site and ask what sites they recommend as the best.

Here is what they said:

what is the best bible website to use when doing a bible study

When doing Bible study, the best website to use depends on your goals—whether you're looking for deep word studies, commentaries, cross-references, or devotional insights. However, several websites stand out for their faithfulness to Scripture, theological soundness, and ease of use.

One of the most highly recommended is Blue Letter Bible (www.blueletterbible.org). It offers a robust set of tools including access to the original Hebrew and Greek texts, Strong’s Concordance, interlinear Bibles, commentaries from trusted theologians, and cross-referencing tools. It’s especially helpful for those who want to dig deeper into the meaning of the original languages and understand the historical-grammatical context of Scripture. As 2 Timothy 2:15 exhorts, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (ESV), and Blue Letter Bible helps believers do just that.

Another excellent resource is Bible.org, which hosts the NET Bible (New English Translation) along with over 58,000 translator’s notes. These notes provide insight into translation choices and theological implications. The site also includes thousands of articles and studies written by conservative evangelical scholars. This aligns with the biblical call to grow in knowledge and discernment: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18, ESV).

GotQuestions.org is also a valuable tool for topical Bible study. While it’s not a Bible text site per se, it provides biblically grounded answers to thousands of theological and practical questions. It’s especially helpful when trying to understand how Scripture applies to specific life issues or doctrines. As Proverbs 4:7 says, “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight” (ESV).

Each of these websites is grounded in a high view of Scripture and seeks to equip believers to rightly understand and apply God’s Word. For the most fruitful Bible study, it’s wise to use a combination of these tools, always testing everything against the truth of Scripture itself (Acts 17:11).

I use gateway.org when I use scripture. Mostly the KJV although I have recently found it is not always the best version of the Bible. But on that site. there is a variety of translations that are available and of course caution is advised because some translations are not the best ones to use.

I am sure you have noticed that I also use Pinterest for my graphics. Sometimes something in those graphics gives me an idea for a post. Like it did in this one today. However, I always want God to lead me to what I am to post each day.

I used to use journaling in my Bible Studies in the past. But that was back before the computer came to my home and I had to use paper. And back then while raising my kids, I did not have a blog available (much less know what one was) for people to come to that are interested in the same things that I am.

However, I am not opposed to that way of studying the Bible for those that use it. It's a good, centered way of letting God speak to you through His word. 

I would encourage everyone to do their own study in God's Word. Don't just take mine or anyone's else's word that what they read is truth. Even your pastors or S. S teachers. In this day where truth is no longer an important thing for a lot of people, the enemy would deceive those and even the very elect, if he can. (Mathew 24:24). And sadly, in this day and age, many are being deceived and if they don't make sure they follow someone that is teaching them the truth, it will lead them to some place they did not want to go. 

Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you in that and give you some tips on how to study God's Word. Friends, we are living in a crazy time in history. We need to draw near to Jesus so that He will draw near to us. Otherwise, we may be doomed as the end of times comes closer to us.

Thanks for coming by. I appreciate each and every one of you that comes here to see what God's Word has to say to us. If we ever needed Him, it is now. God bless you!
