Subject: How do we interpret scripture? |
Bible Note: A most excellent response! There is no doubt it is God's mercy and grace alone that reveal His truth to us through His Word. To illustrate the magnitude of this miracle, consider this: the Word has been delivered faithfully to us through the many people who served God with their lives devoted to Him. The Word was given through His prophets and apostles, recorded by His faithful servants, translated by competent linguists, interpreted by sincere cultural historians, scholars and theologians and applied by the faithful. Clearly, even with our best efforts, alone we could never have done it! |
