How Can We Understand The Bible. MCGI TOPIC REVIEW.

in #hive-1820747 days ago

The Word cannot be understood through human wisdom. We cannot use our reasoning to understand God's Word. The wisdom of man is foolishness before God. They cannot unfold the meaning of God's Word.

It is by the intervention of the spirit of God that we can understand the Word of God. It is the Holy Spirit alone who can give us understanding into the Word of God.

Psalms 94:11 (KJV) The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Man’s reasoning and thinking is vanity. It is emptiness. The wisdom of man is nothing before God. It is vanity.

1 Corinthians 1:19 (KJV) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Even those that think that they have wisdom, their wisdom is nothing before God. It is emptiness; it is vanity.

Proverbs 1:23 (KJV) Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

We need to receive the Holy Spirit to be able to understand the things of God. God makes known His words to us by His Spirit. If we want to understand the things of God; if we want to understand the Word of God, let us rely on the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

No man can know the things of God. No level of human wisdom can understand the Word of God. It is only by the Spirit of God that we are able to understand the things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:10 (KJV) But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

It is the Holy Spirit who can reveal the things of God to us. The deep things in the Bible can only be revealed to us through the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 1:20-21 (KJV) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

The wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. Human reasoning and wisdom cannot understand the things of God.
It is what they consider foolish that is bringing salvation and deliverance to the world. The preaching of the gospel saves and delivers the world. That is how the wisdom of God works.

It is through the Holy Spirit that we can understand the Word of God.
