The Bible isn't a mystical code book that only the superintelligent few can understand because they have a decoding ring. Deuteronomy 6 implies that God intended it to be able to be understood by every father.
Here are six hermeneutical rules and presuppositions to get you started.
1. We must approach the text with humility rather than pride.
2. God wants us to live by every word of Scripture.
3. The Bible is the standard by which all other truth claims must be judged - including truth claims about hermeneutics.
4. Hermeneutics involves more than simply reading the text.
5. The meaning of a phrase must be gathered from the context.
6. The Bible must be interpreted literally according to its normal grammatical sense.
7. Each passage has only one meaning, even though it can have many applications.
