Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we will be talking about the application principle, which states that an application of truth may only be made once we have come to the correct interpretation of a text. This is the final step in the three-step process of Bible study, which includes observation, interpretation, and application. We will also go through a practical example using First Samuel 15 to demonstrate how these principles work together. This passage in 1 Samuel 15 discusses the disobedience of Saul, the first king of Israel, and how his disobedience caused him to be rejected by God. This passage teaches us the importance of obedience to God's commands, even when it is difficult or goes against our desires. It also reminds us that true obedience cannot be replaced by religious rituals or sacrifices. The passage also challenges us to examine our own hearts and see if we are truly following Christ's commands.
