3. Interpretation – What does the text mean?

The Bible means what it says, focus on what it says.

Study the Context.

Let Scripture explain Scripture.

Look for Key Words.

4. Application – How do I respond to the text?

 What do I do? How does this text effect my life?

We must always be able to draw a straight line from Observation to Application
