Lori here ~ Would you like to discover how asking one simple question\u2014\u2018So what?\u2019\u2014can transform your Bible study? Learn how the who, what, when, where, why, and how of Scripture lead to life-changing application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo What?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If someone asked me this question, I\u2019d probably be offended. It sounds snarky, slightly rude, and in your face. Yet I include this question in my list of questions to answer when I read my Bible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I prayed about how to approach each book of the Bible, my training as a newspaper reporter kicked in. Ask the five W\u2019s and an H\u2014Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Of course, brilliant! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask These Questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who<\/strong> wrote the book and to whom is it written? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What<\/strong> was the main theme? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong> did the events take place? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where<\/strong> did the events take place? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why<\/strong> did the author write the book? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How<\/strong> did the events unfold? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Ask One More:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking over my list of questions, I knew I was on the right track to teach the historicity of each book, but something was missing.<\/strong> That\u2019s when I added, \u201cSo what?\u201d \u201cNow that I\u2019ve studied the facts of the book, so what? Why does this matter? How should this impact my life?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo what?\u201d might just be the most important question at all, because if we read the Bible for information only, it probably won\u2019t change our lives. And we should never leave an encounter with God\u2019s Word unchanged. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible is a living book, one that has the power to bolster faith, transform people\u2019s hearts, and make us more like Christ. But studying the who, what, when, where, why, and how of Scripture can be more like reading a biography of Lincoln instead of meeting Lincoln himself. <\/strong>It\u2019s only a shadow of everything it could be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why we must also ask, \u201cSo what?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What “So What?” Looks Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few examples of what this looked like in my study of Genesis: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT:<\/strong> God deliberately created mankind in his image instead of human life spontaneously occurring.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO What?<\/strong> My life and the lives of those around me aren\u2019t accidents. They\u2019re part of God\u2019s plan and purpose for the world. Every life matters, because God creates every life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT:<\/strong> God created Adam and Eve with a free will, even though he knew they\u2019d use it to sin against him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO What? <\/strong>God doesn\u2019t force people to love him. He gives us the ability to choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT: <\/strong>God made a promise in Genesis 3:15 that he would send a Redeemer to save mankind from their sin. Thousands of years later, God kept his promise by sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for the sins of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO What?<\/strong> I can trust God to keep his promises in my life as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT: <\/strong>God called Abraham to offer his only son as proof of his love for God. Abraham was able to be willing to obey his command because he believed God was a promise-keeping God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO What?<\/strong> Sometimes God calls me to do difficult things. If I truly trust God, I\u2019ll demonstrate my trust by obeying him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT:<\/strong> God used the unjust circumstances of Joseph\u2019s life to bring deliverance to thousands of people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO What?<\/strong> God can use the difficult circumstances of my life to bring about good in other people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT:<\/strong> God placed the infant nation of Israel in the incubator of Egypt so they could grow and begin to establish themselves as a people without interference from dangerous nations. In Egypt, they grew from 70 people to 2.5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO What? <\/strong>Similarly, God can orchestrate unlikely situations or circumstances in my life for good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll Be Amazed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studying the facts of a book gives us vital information to help us understand God\u2019s message. Asking \u201cSo what?\u201d helps us apply God\u2019s message to our lives. So the next time you open your Bible to study a passage, I encourage you to learn the who, what, when, where, why, and how of a passage. Then, prayerfully and intentionally, ask God to show you how each passage applies to your life right now. You\u2019ll be amazed at how God\u2019s Word comes alive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s your turn. What is your approach to studying the Scripture, and how has it enhanced your understanding? Leave a comment below and share your insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
