OIA stands for Observation, Interpretation and Application. It is an inductive study method with three steps. First you observe what the passage actually says, noting repeated words, contrasts and context. Then you interpret what it meant to its original audience. Finally you apply the timeless principle to your own life. Doing these in order keeps your conclusions grounded in the text rather than in assumptions.
Start with Where to Start Reading the Bible. It is a 30-day plan built specifically for people who have never read the Bible through, and it avoids the common mistake of beginning at Genesis 1 and stalling in Leviticus. If you would rather focus on the life of Jesus, the Read the Gospels in 30 Days plan is an equally good entry point.
