When we study the Word of God which includes the written word of God and the spoken word of God we ought to seek out 3 things:
PROMISES: What God has said and confirmed that he would do
PRINCIPLES: The value system and the modus-operandi through which our lives, nature, and character are conformed and by which we live by
PROPHECIES: This gives us a glimpse of God's plans, purposes, and intentions for our lives in the future including what we would experience. Jer 29:11
Colossians 3:16
