An excerpt from "Bible Study Tools.com" entitled, "How the Holy Spirit Helps You Read the Word of God" by Eternal Perspective Ministries, lists the following:
1. The Holy Spirit's presence in the life of the reader is essential to his total understanding, appreciation, and implementation of scripture ( 1 Corinthians 2:6-16).
2. The Holy Spirit desires to transform and use the mind of the believer in Bible study. He does not desire to discard or bypass it.
3. The Holy Spirit's ministry is to shed light on "old truth" (already revealed Scripture), not to reveal "new truth."
