1) The document provides guidance on reading and interpreting Scripture with humility, allowing it to shape us, and looking for the central person (God) rather than just facts or rules. 2) It emphasizes understanding the original historical and literary context of passages, including considering the meaning for the original audience and how the author was communicating and telling the story. 3) Interpretation must come before application, and understanding the genre and literary tools used is important for properly interpreting the intended message.
![Matthew 3:7-10
• But when [John] saw many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to
them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from
the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with
repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves,
‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of
these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The
ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that
does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown
into the fire.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/class10slides-131118092516-phpapp01/85/Class-10-slides-7-320.jpg)
