Certified Biblical Application
Adopting Best Principle via Understanding Biblical text
Very important for understanding and applying the different scriptures
Very important for understanding and applying the different scriptures to our lives today with an aim of changing our lives since this is the main aim of God for our Lives. So we ought to dig in and find out the original meaning to the original audience, the historical context that should make us read the books as a whole where possible instead of reading and applying bible verses in isolation. Very enlightening and indeed has changed the way i will be reading the Bible. Thank you
