How To Study The Bible  
     
 

Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found favor in Thy sight, let me know Thy ways, that I may know Thee . . . (NASB) Exodus 33:13

Moses wanted to know more than just some facts about God. He wanted to know God - really know God! The goal is not simply to know the Bible. A Christian needs to know the Bible in order to really know God - to become a spiritual father. But the goal is not to know the Bible but to know Jesus. What does 1 John 2:12-14 say is required in order to be a spiritual father?
Did God answer Moses’ prayer? What does Psalm 103:7 say that God did for Moses?
Why did God show the Israelites only His acts (Ps. 103:7)? What are His acts? The acts of God are the facts about God and what He has done. They are the stories about Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Joshua, Gideon, Samson, King David, Daniel, and Elijah, for example. But God did not help the Israelites to know Him in a personal way - His ways. Why? Jeremiah 29:13-14 gives us the answer. What is the answer according to Jeremiah?
What is God’s great desire for you (Jeremiah 9:23-24)?
