Bible Note: 'Illumination, though assured, does not always guarantee automatic understanding.' - - - - - - - - - - - - - *Illumination* 'is generally thought of in connection with the ministry of the Holy Spirit which makes clear the truth of the written *revelation* in the Bible. 'In reference to the Bible, '*revelation* relates to its content or material; '*inspiration* to the method of recording that material; and '*illumination* to the meaning of the record' (MacArthur Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). (Emphasis added.) 'Illumination, though assured, does not always guarantee automatic understanding . . . The believer must be in fellowship with the Lord in order to experience this ministry. But also he must study, using the teachers God has given to the church (Rom. 12:7) and the abilities and means at his own disposal' (MacArthur Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). |
