Bible Tools

When studying the bible using any of the above sites, software, or apps, you will sometimes use tools they provide. Below are a list of the main tools and some of the more common versions of those tools.

• Commentaries – This is probably the most useful tool in Bible study. Commentaries are written by church leaders from past and present to describe the scriptures you are reading by chapter and verse. There are probably 100 commentaries, but some of the more common and well known commentaries are:
• Matthew Henry (I used this one more than any, but his old English can be hard to follow sometimes)
• Jamieson, Fausset, & Brown (another one I use often)
• John MacArthur (more modern day one I use together with the ones above)


• Encyclopedias /Dictionaries – This can be very useful as well because rather than focusing on a chapter or verse, these focus on a word or a name or a topic. For example: when I was reading the bible and came across the word Sepharvaim so I looked it up on the Blue Letter sites encyclopedia/dictionary. If you click the link you will see its possible meaning and definition from some of the more popular encyclopedias/dictionaries all on one page. Some of those are:
• Easton’s Bible Dictionary
• International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
• Nave’s Topical Bible
• Smith’s Bible Dictionary


• Lexicons/Concordance – These are used for word studies and can be super useful when researching original meanings of a word in its original language Old Testament (Hebrew) or New Testament (Greek).
• Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance is a very common one to use. Take a look at the example of Genesis 1:1 using Strong’s on the Bible Hub site.

Other super useful tools are below. One of the best places to use the various tools is on Blue Letters site.

• Harmony of the Gospels – The Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and they can be read side by side.
• Charts and Timelines – these incredibly useful and help bring to life the scriptures.
• Maps and Images – these are also very useful to give us a visual of the realness and locations of scriptures.
• Topical Indexes – these are also really cool because you can look up a topic and it will show you all the scripture reference to that topic. I actual have a specific bible that I use when studying for a sermon called the Thompson’s Chain Reference Bible

Sharing Salvation with others (Roman Road)

The bible says that there is only one way to salvation and that is through Jesus:

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It also says that we are all guilty of sin; everyone single one of us fall short:

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

If we remain in that sin without genuine change in our hearts, then the cost is high; death and hell. But the beauty of the New Covenant is God’s grace thru the free gift of life eternal through Jesus:

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

So we all have an opportunity to receive this free gift and receive salvation by simply asking God to forgive us of our sins and confessing that we believe Jesus is Lord and the Son of God who raised Jesus from the dead that we may also be saved.

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The Roman Road is a guide of scripture for you to memorize to share. If the person you are witnessing to isn’t genuine in his heart, then there will be no change. If the person you are sharing with says they would like to be saved by receiving Christ as their Lord, then lead them in a simply prayer of salvation.

“Lord, I admit I am a sinner. I need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin, and recognize that Your mercy and grace is a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done. Cleanse me and make me Your child. By faith I receive You into my heart as the Son of God and as Savior and Lord of my life. From now on, help me live for You, with You in control. In Your precious name, Amen”
