Reading Scripture with Attention and Humility

This lesson introduces the posture needed for thoughtful Bible study: careful attention to the text and humble openness before God. Students learn why Scripture should not be approached casually, selectively, or as a tool for confirming what they already think.

The lesson focuses on practical habits: slowing down, observing repeated words and literary signals, noticing assumptions, asking honest questions, and resisting the urge to rush toward application. It establishes a foundation for later lessons on context, genre, interpretation, and theology.
