Can you describe how each step builds on the previous one?

[Austin]

Observation, interpretation, application. What, why, how to apply

[Austin]

Observation: first you need to observe the text/scripture, looking for clues to what its general meaning is as an example, then you have in Interpretation: a deeper understanding of the text/scripture. Taking from the observations, and building on these clues, Interpretation will become more apparent. Lastly, application putting into practice.

[Austin]

First you must carefully observe. Then interpret your observations. Finally after your interpretation, you apply what you have learnt to your life.

[Austin]

I will try…. To me after reading a Bible verse my first instinct is I would want to apply it to my life. First I will have to read it deeper by observing it again then I will have to interpret it then apply to my life.

[Austin]

Observation is where you take all the information given and process it, interpretation is how you explain the information you learned application is how you apply the information to your life.
