HOW TO GET STARTED…
Sometimes it’s hard to read instructions. You simply want to get started, and only if all else fails will you read the directions. I understand, but in this case, don’t do it! These instructions are part of getting started, and they will help you greatly.
FIRST
As you study the books of Galatians and Ephesians, you will need four things in addition to this book:
1. A Bible that you are willing to mark in. Marking is essential because it is an integral part of the learning process and will help you remember and retain what you learned. An ideal Bible for this purpose is The New Inductive Study Bible (NISB). The NISB, available in the New American Standard Version, comes in a single-column text format with larger, easy-to-read type, and is ideal for marking. The page margins are wide and blank for notetaking.
The NISB is unique among all study Bibles in that it has instructions for studying each book of the Bible, but it does not contain any commentary on the text. The NISB isn’t compiled from any particular theological stance since its purpose is to teach you how to discern truth for yourself through the inductive method of study. Inductive Bible study simply means that the Bible itself is the primary source for study. (The various charts and maps that you will find in this study guide are taken from the NISB.) Whatever Bible you use, just know you will need to mark in it, which brings us to the second item you will need.
2. A fine-point, four-color ballpoint pen or various colored fine-point pens (such as Micron pens) for writing in your Bible. The Micron pens are best for this purpose. Office supply stores should have these.
3. Colored pencils or an eight-color Pentel pencil.
4. A composition notebook or loose-leaf notebook for working on your assignments and recording your insights.
SECOND
Though you will be given specific instructions for each day’s study, there are basic things you’ll want to look for and do as you study each book chapter by chapter. Let me list them for you. Read through the list but don’t be overwhelmed. Eventually, each step will become a habit.
1. As you read each chapter, train yourself to ask the 5 W’s and an H
