About this Study
You will need a Bible of your own to do this devotional study. Reading the Bible with an open heart and mind brings us into God’s presence, and getting to know God is accomplished by spending time with him on a daily basis. This study is designed to develop or maintain the habit of meeting daily with God, sometimes referred to as a devotional time with God. It doesn’t have to take a large chunk of time, but it needs to be focused on the Scriptures (the Bible). It doesn’t have to cover a lot of material or content every day, it just needs to be understood and applied to our lives. The study days are numbered so that you can do them any day of the week, preferably one each day. However, if you miss a day, it won’t matter because the days are not assigned a date or day of the week. I designed this study to be completed over several months because it is intended to guide a daily time with God rather than to complete a study of John as quickly as possible. At any time, you may also want to read the entire book of John on your own to gain more of an overview. If you don’t have time to do that, it is always a good idea to take a quick look at previous entries to put the upcoming day in context. My approach to the study is a verse by verse exploration and application of God’s Word to our lives. This is an inductive study, which means that we derive meaning from the Biblical text itself rather than from outside sources. The passages for each day are short, to enable you to focus more in depth on a few verses at a time. I frequently bring additional Scripture into the discussion in an effort to ensure accurate interpretation of the day’s topics. I thank God for all that John wrote about Jesus, and hope that God uses it for good in your life, as he has in mine.
