One helpful starting point is reading a Gospel such as John or Mark, which introduces the life and teaching of Jesus.

Read complete passages, consider their context, take notes, and ask what the text communicates before considering personal application.

Context helps readers avoid assigning meanings to verses that may not reflect the author's intended message.
