About
The Bible Says
The Bible Says seeks to enrich your personal Bible study, small group, or church by providing easy-to-navigate commentary covering every verse in the Bible. We seek to empower laypeople, ministry leaders, and all believers by providing tools that will assist in their spiritual growth by enhancing direct access to the Biblical text.
The Bible Says commentary is created by numerous writers and editors who strive to faithfully present the Bible in its historical context. We have a range of writers, some with theology degrees and some not. What they have in common is passion to explain scripture in an easy-to-understand way to the average person, as well as being a useful resource to church leaders.
At The Bible Says, we focus on providing biblically grounded content that is both accessible and authentic. Our team is dedicated to careful study of each passage, drawing from history, language, culture, and theology to shed light on Scripture’s enduring relevance. We aim not just to inform, but also to inspire—so that readers will feel encouraged, enriched, and motivated to live out the teachings they discover.
The whole Bible is a beautiful tapestry. Like a tapestry, you cannot see where each thread connects from the front of the work. But from the backside of the tapestry you can see that each thread connects to other parts of the whole. Studying and understanding the Bible helps you see the otherwise hidden connections. The intent of our commentary is to reveal the themes, truths, and applications God has woven throughout His holy Word.
With our new account tools like our AI Sermon writer, and the ability to highlight and bookmark the text, we aim to provide you with everything you need to access the Bible for yourself.
Ultimately, TheBibleSays.com is about growing in a deeper relationship with the One who inspired Scripture, and to be guided by the Holy Spirit, who is the true Teacher. We pray that through reading our commentary, you will draw nearer to Christ. Thank you for visiting our site—we invite you to journey with us as we discover what The Bible Says and how it continues to speak into our lives today.
Our recommended approach
1
Observe what is stated
“What does this say?” Look through the eyes of the author, and listen through the ears of the intended audience. Ask yourself, “If I were there, what would I have heard?”
2
Interpret what it means
Ask yourself, “What does this mean?” We tend to begin with what we want to hear, then interpret it in a manner that supports what we had already concluded. This tendency will get in the way of us hearing what the Bible is really saying. The Bible largely interprets itself; we just need to listen.
3
Correlate your interpretation
Test to see if your interpretation matches the context. Ask, “Does this fit a) the immediate context? b) the greater context? c) the broad context of the entire story arc of the Bible?” If not, go back to Step 1.
4
Apply what you have understood
Ask, “How can I apply this in my life?” We are engaging with the living word, the indwelling Spirit that teaches and transforms us. Application precedes transformation.
The writers and editors of TheBibleSays.com are some of the most biblically knowledgeable people I know, and are committed to providing the reader with insight to the biblical context, as it was intended by the Bible’s authors. I have been consulted and reviewed portions of their work, and believe they are providing a great service to lay readers, to help them in their journey to read and discover the great truths of the Bible for themselves.
