Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!

S: Scripture

If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then summarize it in your own words.

O: Observation

Read Romans 6:1–7 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does this passage invite us to do when we feel we've failed God?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• Do you recognize any mistakes or harmful choices that you repeatedly make?
• What does this passage invite you to do differently next time you find yourself making those choices?
• How do you think your relationship with Jesus could change for the better if you do that?

P: Prayer

Spend some time praying about an area where you're struggling. Thank God for the promise of grace! Then, ask for help living differently.
