1 | How can I understand the Bible? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 240241 | ||
Hi, Wendy... Jalek gave you some very practical principles. As I was praying for you, something occured to me: Do not worry so much about what you DON'T understand. Instead, worry about what you DO understand. That is always the starting point. Read the Scriptures and absorb what is clear. Ask the Lord to grant you grace to change your life according to that truth. That which you understand will be the point at which God will work with you. The Holy Spirit always and ever will direct us to the Word -- and He will convict you from the Word. He will lead you into greater understanding, but He has already started to lead you through His Word. That is why you came here to ask about it. (John 8:31-32) We understand that the Bible is the source of all authority. How we feel and what we experience is not the thing of primary importance -- not by a long shot. Those who walk in the Word will be taking that extra step to be praying for you. In Him, Doc |

Hi Wendy, A very good source of understanding the Bible from Genesis to Revelation quickly, is "The New Panorama Bible Study Course #1". By Fleming H. Revell division of Baker Book House Grand Rapids, Michigan 49516 ISBM 0-8007-1578-0 It's a visual aid to bible study. It's a book of about 15 pages (8" x 16") When each page is spread open you'll be able to visualize about a 1,000 years of Bible history. Then starting with the creation until the new heavens and earth it's a summery of the 6,000 years of Bible history. It's like a road map it gives a birds eye view of the entire Bible. Following the creation story, it begins with Adam and Eve and throughout all of the pages a red line is used to show how God used various individuals until the birth of Christ followed by His ministry then up until the present day. The study is very effective to visualize and understand what will take place during the Great Tribulation period. In picture form along with the accompanied Bible verses it explains what the Bible is all about.----After knowing this then yes if you are Christian ask the Holy Spirit to teach you as you read the Scriptures and don't get bogged down when you don't understand something because the next time around you'll get it. Ed O. |
