Bible Question:
how can i read the bible and understand it |
Bible Answer: Hi, sweetgirl1925! There are two parts to understanding the Word of God: * Humbly asking the Holy Spirit to enlighten us so that we may understand the Holy Scripture, and * Practice, practice, practice! My Mom is 87 years old--I praise God for His generosity towards us!--she is having more and more difficulties with her health, he eye-sight, her ability to retain short-term memory... still she is always praying, always reading the Holy Bible! ...understanding Scripture is not simply dependent on human intellectual prowes (if it were so the world's wealthy people would have a noticeable advantage over the indigent people in the world!)... it is dependent upon our desire to know God and to humbly and obediently worship Him! Have you heard of the poor widow? She mad an offer to God that demonstrated what was in her heart... Jesus exalted her for her humble generosity! (Mark 12:41-44) James tells us that it is very simple: just ask God for Wisdom and He will be happy to oblige! (James 1:5) We need the Holy Spirit to enlighten us and to teach us about the fulness of God... that is His function; Jesus promised that He (the Holy Spirit) would be sent by Him to us to continue our teaching and enlightening us! I will pray for you... that the Holy Spirit build you up in Jesus so that His Word Bless you with God's Wisdom and Understanding! (1 Corinthians 2:12-16) God Bless! Angel |
