       One thing I like to do in order to understand Scriptures better, is do what I call a Scripture Reversal. We just saw how Paul stated the characteristics of the unbeliever and their consequences in Romans 2:8-9, but what I want to do is reverse this Scripture so that we can see how we ought to look as Christians. Let’s rephrase the verse: “for those who are God and others-seeking and do obey the truth, who obey righteousness, there will be peace. There will be peace for every human being who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek” (ESV). Ok, see how that worked? I took the verse and reversed it, and this can help us gain better understanding of where we stand and how God see us. This is a good practice for us to use to better understand Scripture. I think right now you are beginning to think of all kinds of ways this technique can help you understand Scripture better.
