Lesson 5b
Psa 119:9-12
(KJV)
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his
way?
by taking heed thereto according to thy
word.
{10} With my whole heart have I sought thee:
O let me not wander from thy commandments.
{11} Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.
{12} Blessed art thou, O LORD:
teach me thy statutes.
Dear Friends in
Christ,
If I were ever limited
to only 2 books to have on a desert island, they would be a King James Bible and
a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. I have been a big fan of The Strongs
Concordance for over 35 years.
The book has been in
existence for over 100 years, and is probbably the first example of a manually
searchable database of Bible words and verses. There is even a Hebrew and Greek
Dictionary in the back, with the English words keyed to the corresponding Hebrew
or Greek words by a simple numbering system, thereby eliminating the need to
know how to read the other language, and yet allowing one to get an
understanding of the deeper meanings of the original word. This often helps
to clarify misunderstandings in interpretation of a Bible
verse.
The only way to improve on Strong's
Exhaustive was to computerize it and add a search engine. An example of a
Computerized Strongs Concordance, along with many other useful Bible Study
tools, are all available at the following website online and no need to
download..

I suggest that you become familiar with
using this classic Bible study tool to further your own education in God's
Worddoing topic studies, word studies, character studies and doctrine
studies. We are truly blessed in this age with the opportunity to use these
tools for the furtherance of our growth in Christ and the furtherance of God's
Kingdom. Let us not let them become an un-used blessing, especially when there
is so much darkness in the world around us.
Jer 15:16 (KJV)
Thy words were found, and I did eat them;
and thy
word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine
heart:
for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of
hosts.
God Bless you in your study of the Word
of God.
In Christ.brother

How
To Use the Strongs Concordance
http://www.theanswer.org/biblestudy/strongs.htm
A concordance is an index, or
alphabetical listing, of words used in the Bible, with references to
chapter and verse. Strongs is an exhaustive (or
complete) index of all the words used in the King James Version of
the Bible. It lists every word in the Bible including every
"a", "and", "the", "but" and similar words, and every
verse where they are found. A concordance is a tool for the
Bible student to study all the places in the Bible
where a particular word is found, or more broadly, to study a Bible
topic, a Bible subject, person, idea or doctrine.
There are several reasons for
using a concordance:
(1) TO LOCATE A VERSE OF
SCRIPTURE
Often times you are trying
to remember a Bible verse, or part of a Bible verse, but you
just couldn't remember where it was in the Bible? This is the most
common reason why people use a concordance.
HOW? Find the verse
by looking up in the concordance the most striking or
exclusive word in that verse. Try not to use "common"
words. The more common the word, like ""the" or "God" the
longer the list in the concordance, and consequently the harder
the verse is to find. For instance, in John 3:16 a more striking
or exclusive word would be "only begotton" or
"perish".
(2) TO FIND THE DEFINITION OF ORIGINAL GREEK AND
HEBREW WORDS.
Let's consider, for
example, the word "accusers" in 2 Timothy 3:3. This word is found
in the main concordance and alongside is found the number 1228,
which refers to the Greek dictionary in the back of the
concordance.
Notice that the numbers for
the Old Testament Hebrew words are "regular," while the numbers
for the New Testament Greek words are in italics. In the
case of number 1228 in the Greek dictionary, the order of
information is as follows:
1. the Greek
word
2. the
"transliteration" of the Greek word, or how it is written in
English letters
3. how to
pronounce the wo
