This is great. I really thank Pastor Andrew. He gas opened my eyes to analysing and applying the bible.Sincerely speaking,I don’t know looking for compare and contrast, pronouns, conjunction, repetition could really give me the original meaning of the scripture. Now,looking for the clue,observation, historical context e.t.c will really help me to study the scriptures better. Thank you sir.

The introduction from the beginning was very clear and straightforward which makes things easier for a person understand, analyzing, interpreting and applying every task given to us as we are being gifted as God’s children. Matthews 28 vs 18 Then Jesus came to them and said,’All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Meaning since we are in Jesus himself we are also given the authority on heaven and on earth so let’s us live in Him so that we may grow in Him.
