Greetings everyone, I welcome you all to my blog.
It's another great day to listen to the word of God by his servant Bro Eli Soriano.
A large number of people today lack real understanding of the Bible. It’s not that they are unaware of its existence; many know that the Bible is a religious book. However, they treat it lightly, consider it outdated, or push it aside as if it contains nothing meaningful. Because of this attitude, the Bible remains a closed and mysterious book to many around the world.
It’s surprising, but even within the church, many Christians do not genuinely know the Bible. They attend services, participate in church activities, and appear committed, yet they have little personal knowledge of Scripture. Many claim they are too busy to read it. They can devote time to other tasks, but reading the Bible feels burdensome. Naturally, this makes it impossible for them to grow in understanding. To such people, the Bible seems distant and unfamiliar.
There are also Christians who read the Bible regularly but whose lives do not show any evidence of its teachings. They gain no spiritual benefit from it because they lack true understanding. They know the words of the Bible but not the heart of God behind those words. The Bible is the written book, but the Word of God is living and active. The Bible is simply the vessel that carries God’s message.
To truly understand Scripture, a person must allow the Holy Spirit to guide and teach them. Only the Spirit of God can reveal the deeper meaning of the Bible and help us interpret it correctly. For anyone who has not been reading their Bible, the first step is simply to start. As you read, invite the Holy Spirit to open your heart and mind. He is the one who makes the Word of God come alive and meaningful.
Thanks for reading
