I’m not sure what you mean by “deeper into the things of God.� I will try to respond to what I think you mean.
How you “read� the bible is very important. There are two Greek words used to describe how a person reads a text.
One of the Greek words is “eisegesis� when means to read one’s own interpretation INTO a given text. A lot of times we “hear� a teaching from someone, like a minister, and we take his words for it and we “read into the text� what we’ve heard. We EISEGEIS (read into) the text our preconceived thoughts.

The second Greek word is exegete. To exegete a text, means to “draw the meaning out of.� When we read the Bible, we must not fall into the trap of eisegeis. We must exegete the context of the message to what it meant when the writer wrote it.
You want to go “deeper� in our Lord’s Word, then we must start by exegeting the text.

Also, ask yourself: Why was it written? To whom was it written? When was it written.

Hope this helps.
May the Lord be with you,

Your servant in Messiah, Jesus the Chirst,
