LETTERS - S3

I will let you in on a secret--It centers in the following promise:
“If any man will do his [God's] will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” John 7:17

When we truly dedicate our lives to God, surrendering to Jesus and accepting Him as our personal Saviour, then when we study the Bible, we must ask His blessing and ask Him to send the Holy Spirit as our personal Tutor in the things of God's Word. Then we have with us the actual Author of the Bible to help us to understand His Will for us as His child. This is a One on One relationship--that only the truly Born Again can experience. But to me it is very exciting!! Here is what Jesus promised us:

 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”  John 14:26

Also Paul gave us the answer as to why so few can truly understand the Bible:

 “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14
We should never attempt to read or study the Bible unless we first pray humbly for the guidance of the Holy Spirit or else we will certainly be led astray. The Bible is not a book like any other textbook--we cannot take it and dissect it with our proud human philosophies and expect to arrive at truth. 

You see one of the biggest problems we folk in this era have to deal with is the Greek Philosophy which is where all the educational systems we have been taught are centered in. This mind set makes doubt and quibbling and even scoffing some kind of virtues and it acts as a barrier to truly getting to know God as He wants His children to know Him--personally.
May God bless and guide you to answers that will fill your soul with joy!
God Bless!

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:22-24
