| − | Our study for Bible Achievement is not to just learn trivia and factual information. Most importantly, it is to implant the Word of God in our minds and hearts. Below are principles from the study of Matthew in 2008, but the principles apply to all scripture being studied, whether for PBA on in daily devotions. As you study your chapters, keep the following thoughts in mind.

| − | # '''What is God saying to ME - personally?''' “The word of the living God is not merely written, but spoken. The Bible is God’s voice speaking to us, just as surely as though we could hear it with our ears. If we realized this, with what awe would we open God’s word and with what earnestness would we search its precepts! The reading and contemplation of the Scriptures would be regarded as an audience with the Infinite One.” 6T 393

| − | # '''What picture of God does this give to me?''' We see a God who loves even the lowest sinners. He gave all to save all. “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:11 “And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.’” Matthew 8:16-17 “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Matthew 26:39

| − | # '''How does this show God’s loving care for us?''' There are many Illustrations of God’s caring, through His loving the outcast, healing all, and living with the pain we have. We see the longing desire He has to save even those who reject Him: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” Matthew 23:37
| + | |
| − | # '''What illustration of the plan of salvation does this show?''' The whole book is full of the plan of salvation through the life of Jesus Christ. “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1: 21 “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28
| + | |
| − | # '''How can I apply this to my life?''' Jesus said many things that we can apply to our lives on a daily basis. “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” Matthew 26: 41, “And whoever exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:23 “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:37 “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:31
| + | |
| − | # '''Is there scripture I can memorize that will help me each day?''' There are many verses like this one that are good for us to apply to ourselves: “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44
