Five Areas of Learning from the OT:
1. Learn the historical narrative.
2. See each passage in light of the “grand story of redemption”.
3. Learn about the greatness of our God.
4. Learn faith lessons from men of faith (or from men of no faith).
5. Types and Shadows of the Gospel and NT doctrines.

Our Attitude While Reading Scripture Should be:
1. The Scriptures are the Father’s means of the Spirit revealing Jesus to you so you can know God.
2. Since both the Bible and Jesus are the Father’s communication to you, believe and receive them as such.
3. Whenever the Bible is read, taught, or preached, you should listen to it as you would listen to Jesus.
4. Rely on the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible so that you can understand Jesus.
5. Recognize that the Spirit of God brought both the incarnated Word and the inscripturated Word to the world.
6. You should regard both the Scriptures and Jesus as holy.
7. However, you should always treat the Bible as the means and Christ as the end.
