03/23/21 WE MUST LET GOD EXPLAIN GOD TO US
It is possible to twist Scripture, in order to make it SEEM to say anything a person wants it to say, which is why we must approach it in humility and honesty, allowing the Author (God Himself), to enlighten us.
This requires a sober understanding of the history, languages, cultures in the Bible. We must let the Holy Spirit lead us in understanding the text (or the faithful translation of the text). God, the Holy Spirit explains and documents His revelation (the Holy Bible) by His revelation (the Holy Bible).
An understanding of the Bible requires an understanding of God, which comes by prayerfully reading the Bible. As we come to understand the God of the Bible, by reading the Bible, we will come to a greater, deeper, broader and clearer understanding of the Bible, thus making us more intimately aware of God.
