Scripture Study

5 Ways to Study the Scriptures

1- Read the scriptures with your family.

2- Read one or more verses each day.

3- Read stories from the Friend.

4- After hearing a scripture or scripture story in church, find and read it in your own scriptures at home.

5- Write the scripture on a card and post it in your room (or where ever) to be reminded to love the principle it teaches.

In a conference talk President Howard W. Hunter gave the following advice about scripture study.

-Read carefully to understand the scriptures.

-Study every day.

-Set a regular time every day when you will study.

-Study in a place where you can concentrate without distractions or interruptions.

-Study for a period of time rather than reading a certain number of chapters or pages.

-Have a study plan.  

(see conference report, Oct. 1979)

The real knowledge you gain from the scriptures comes when you live what you learn. Greater closness to the Lord and feeling the peace He gives are just some of the blessings that come to those who live the gospel. In addition, the Lord said that those who live what they learn will be given more, while those who will not live what they learn will lose the knowledge they have. (Alma 12:9-11)

"Feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." (2 Nephi 32:3)
