Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Hebrews 9:11-12 KJV
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; [12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
If we read chapters instead of verses from the apostle Paul his teachings and come to light and we see both grace d truth working together

“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:5-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

larger sections of the epistles cancel the confusion that arises when we not see one verse at a time

We should read the New Testament like lesson book designed by God meant for us to hear and learn from and let in the teachings and information given to us who accept Christ presented to all mankind in the gospel.

i feel like a lot of Christian’s think the Bible is thousands of seperate individual verses earth chi meant for us to interpret one by one and get a message out of every sentance but really it’s like any other book meant to tesch the Hearer the information that’s being conveyed in the Bible’s case “ what God has actually said and wants mankind to know and believe “

If we want to understand the Bible we have to see it as a book tha the not mysterious but is made plain for us to believe

perfect example is this isn’t hard to understand it’s a plain statement

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures

“and that he was buried,

and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:3-4

It’s not a challenge to understand what’s being said , it’s a test of faith “ will you believe what all of the world says isnt possible because God said it ?”

This is faith to believe what you haven’t seen because you believe the message Jesus the Christ , who lived and died and rose two thousand years ago and then went to heaven and one day will return from heaven

and we Christian’s believe the gospel that says it happened even though we can’t see or prove it tangibly we believe what we heard out Jesus in the scripture
It’s the only way that we can really believe what the scripture says about Jesus is to hear it especially what Jesus himself said when he walked among us

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Faith comes because we hear things like this in the gospel and believe

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

if I hear what Jesus said and believe it it’s going to make faith start to grow I believe now because I heard “ whoever believes in Jesus will have everlasting life “

I hear him again and my faith is watered and grows a bit more

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I hear and believe

“This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭

for abraham to believe God he had to hear what God said to him like we have to hear the gospel and believe to have faith

“And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15:5-6‬ ‭

abraham had to hear what god said to him and believe that is the common denominator of everyone ever of faith from Moses to David to the apostles everyone of them had to hear the lords word and believe him in order to have faith every Christian has that same denominator in common later our faith is going to be tested at times in this world and we need to act by what we say we believe

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2:20-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That is this for us in Christ

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭

If we say then after hearing “ baptism is a work it’s not faith “

we’ve missed the lesson and we’re looking at the Bible all wrong thinking it’s a mystic mysterious book only a few select people can grasp

It’s not it’s like a text book wrotten by God for mankind to hear , believe and be saved knowing his true words of salvation in Christ bigger chunks of scripture are self interpreting and edifying

Matthew 16:18 KJV
…..I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
amen Jesus said this to his disciples which is what “ christian” means disciples of Jesus whom is Christ

“And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭11:26‬ ‭

So you have the light of the world which we are called to follow

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and we are told to believe this which is the radiance of his glorious light spoken into a dark world

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭

some believe the gospel and others don’t some see and hear clearly because they accept the light others remain in darkness still afraid to approach the light blindness has no light

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:3-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Which is this promise 700 years before finally fulfilled

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51:4‬ ‭

and then you have the church , his disciples then those who followed the light and shined to the world

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and still To the church his disciples after and still today

“For ye were sometimes darkness, ( past ) but now are ye light in the Lord:( present ) walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:8-17‬ ‭

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬

the gospel is the light some will come into it and hear the lords words others will stay in darkness because they see the light shining and know it will bring thier sins to light and they will have to repent

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:17-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Gods word in reveals what is hidden on us that we didn’t know about those things also which we become use to doing we find out aren’t acceptable to God and it brings us to the need for repentance as we come into that light of the gospel

hearing Gods word and accepting th at its Gods word is a light that shines even To our core to the center of our living soul God sees through and into us and as we hear his word because we’re believers this happens , were receving gods approved discernment in our hearts and minds

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

aid we let Gods word into faith will save us from the darkness and out ignorance To it in this world

The Word was the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh.

John 1:1 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
