Where authority comes from 
Ezra 7:10

Ezra’s life exemplifies three important steps of good spiritual leadership. He dedicated himself to studying the Scriptures, he applied its truths to his own life, and then he began teaching it to others. Authority comes from a life lived on the principles of God’s Word. Matthew 7:28-29 records that “the crowds were amazed at [Jesus’] teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law."

Bible study is a little like building a house. We start by building the foundation (reading and observing the text.). Next we put up the walls and the roof (interpreting and seeking to understand what the text meant to the original hearers.). Then we move in and make it our own (by applying its truths to our lives).

Application must be a primary goal of all Bible study. To study the Word and not livee it is like building a house and not moving into it. Only when we are living by the Scriptures ourselves can we pass on to others, with authority, what we have learned.

How devoted are you to studying and applying the Word? Make it a daily habit!
