Welcome to The Alliya Church
HELPING YOU LEARN HOW TO STUDY
While hearing others speak about the Scriptures can provide valuable insights, personal Bible study fosters a deeper, more authentic connection with God, guards against false teachings, and equips you for life and service. It is a lifelong pursuit that transforms the heart and mind, empowering you to live according to God’s will and to share His truth with others.We help you learn the art of studying the Bible for yourself, rather than solely relying on others' interpretations. It is critically important for several reasons:
Personal Relationship with God
The Bible is God’s living Word, meant to be directly communicated to each individual. When you study the Scriptures yourself, you engage with God personally. This direct interaction allows the Holy Spirit to teach, convict, and guide you in ways that are unique to your own life circumstances and spiritual needs. While others can help illuminate the Word, only you can fully experience the depth of God's message in your heart.
Discernment and Protection from False Teachings
The Bible warns us about false teachers who may distort or misrepresent Scripture to serve their own agendas (e.g., 2 Peter 2:1-3, Matthew 7:15). If you rely solely on someone else’s interpretation, you might unknowingly accept teachings that are inaccurate or even harmful. By studying the Bible for yourself, you develop the ability to discern truth from error, aligning your understanding with God’s Word, not just with human opinions or traditions.
A Deeper Understanding
Listening to someone teach or preach can be helpful, but it’s just one layer of understanding. Personal Bible study allows you to dig deeper into context, word meanings, historical background, and broader themes. You can ask questions, cross-reference verses, and let the Holy Spirit reveal insights directly to you, which leads to a richer, more profound understanding of God’s will.
Building Spiritual Maturity
The Apostle Paul encourages believers to "study to show yourself approved" (2 Timothy 2:15). Spiritual maturity comes from feeding on the Word of God yourself, wrestling with it, and applying it in your life. It's through personal study that your faith is strengthened, and you learn to live according to God’s principles rather than just relying on the faith of others. God desires His people to grow in knowledge and wisdom, which happens through personal engagement with the Scriptures.
The Model of the Bereans
In Acts 17:11, the Bereans are commended for not just accepting what Paul preached, but for "examining the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." They set a great example of how to test teachings by God’s Word. This encourages believers to not passively receive information, but to actively engage with the Bible for personal verification and growth.
A Continuous Journey of Discovery
The Bible is a rich, multi-layered text that offers new insights each time it is read. Studying it for yourself allows you to continually uncover more of God’s character, promises, and wisdom. The more you seek, the more you find, and the more you discover the beauty and depth of God’s Word.
