Pastor Chris White says to all of you: HELLO MY FRIENDS. May the Lord bless you today.
HOLA MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
Understanding
the Bible is important because the Bible is God’s Word. When we open the Bible,
we read God’s message to us. What could be more important than understanding
what the Creator of the universe has to say?
We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason a man seeks to
understand a love letter from his sweetheart. God loves us and desires to
restore our relationship with Him (Matthew 23:37). God communicates His love to us
in the Bible (John 3:16; 1 John 3:1; 4:10).
We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason a soldier seeks to
understand a dispatch from his commander. Obeying God’s commands brings honor
to Him and guides us in the way of life (Psalm 119). Those commands are found in the
Bible (John 14:15).
We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason a mechanic seeks to
understand a repair manual. Things go wrong in this world, and the Bible not
only diagnoses the problem (sin) but also points out the solution (faith in
Christ). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason a driver seeks to
understand traffic signals. The Bible gives us guidance through life, showing
us the road of safety and wisdom (Psalm 119:11, 105).
We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason someone in the path of a
storm seeks to understand the weather report. The Bible predicts what the end
times will be like, sounding a clear warning of impending judgment (Matthew 24-25) and how to avoid it (Romans 8:1).
We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason an avid reader seeks to
understand his favorite author’s books. The Bible reveals to us the person and
glory of God, as expressed in His Son, Jesus Christ (John 1:1-18). The more we read and understand
the Bible, the more intimately we know the Author.
As Philip was traveling to Gaza, the Holy Spirit led him to a man who was
reading a portion of Isaiah. Philip approached the man, saw what he was
reading, and asked this very important question: “Do you understand what you
are reading?” (Acts 8:30). Philip knew
that understanding was the starting point for faith. Without
understanding the Bible, we cannot apply it, obey it, or believe it.
