The Bible; God's word, to man. Yet, we try to comprehend and understand it with our own carnal, and fleshly mind. Truth is, we can never understand it if we read it without the help of the Lord. We think we're all that. We think that reading the Bible, and knowing every single verse by heart, is so good. That it's something to be proud of. Honestly, it's not. You can remember every single verse. You can know it by heart. But, if you don't understand what it really means, then what's the point in all of this? What's the point in doing something, that you don't even understand? I'm not pointing my fingers at you. But, if the shoe fits, wear it. I was just like this. I thought that I was all good, knowing scriptures others didn't, by heart. But that was a lie that I lived. A lie of the devil. You see, God never intended everyone to read the Bible, and understand it.
Matthew 7:6-Do not give that which is holy (the sacred thing) to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls before hogs, lest they trample upon them with their feet and turn and tear you in pieces.
Most people read this verse, and try to comprehend it with their own carnal mind. But, you can't. Only a spiritual mind can. What this verse simply means, is that you can't simply give this Gospel to just anyone. It's not meant for everyone. "Do not throw pearls before hogs."
They can't possibly appreciate that pearl. In the same manner, that's what God is trying to tell us. The pearl represents the Word of God/The Gospel Truth of the Water and Spirit. The hogs, represent people refuse to believe. How can you possibly give them something so precious and sacred, yet they treat it like it's worth nothing? Honestly, it doesn't even make sense. Why would someone do that? We can't understand why. But, God knows why.
My point in all of this, is to tell every single Christian out there, whether young or old, smart or dumb that the Bible, isn't like a storybook which you read and read, and try to comprehend it by yourself. The Bible, is basically a book about Jesus. All of it. From beginning, till the end, you can see Jesus. Like in the Garden of Eden for example. You can see Jesus, whether it's the animal skin that God clothed Adam and Eve with, or the offering Abel brought before God. Jesus has been there since the beginning of time itself. Because that was the will of God; that every man rely and trust, and cleave on to Jesus. That was God's plan. And that is God's plan. Yet, so many find it hard to understand. Not because they're dumb, or unintellectual, or have no knowledge of God whatsoever. It's because everyone is trying to use their own understandings to comprehend this Gospel. But the Bible was written for one audience only. Those who truly seek the Lord. Because, it's not you who searches for God. But it's God who searches for you. You don't call God, God calls you. And until we learn that difference, we'll never understand.
You can search all you like. Have debates with other people. But just because you say they're wrong, doesn't mean you're right. The only one right here, is God. And that verse you're debating with other people, has only one meaning. And you can try to find out that meaning all you'd like, through theology, or whatever you like. But, it will make absolutely no difference. You think you're right. but, we're all wrong. God is the only one who's right. So, for once in your life, stop. Just stop trying so hard. And start surrendering to God. Because we're all fallen. And the only one Who can lift us all back up on our feet, is God. Put your faith in Him, and you'll see the pieces of the puzzle being put together. Because that puzzle box you call your life, was on a shelf, untouched, dusty, and old. But, God will take your life, your puzzle pieces, and put them together. Then you'll see the beautiful picture.
Some advice, instead of asking man how and what to do, turn to God, and surrender it all to Him. Then only will you be able to understand. Because knowing is one thing. Understanding is another. Don't get the two mixed up.
(Please don't hate me for telling the truth. Sometimes, all we need to do is sit down, and listen. So, listen to God. Listen to what He has to say for once in your life. Because Creator is greater than creation. And that's a fact so few know. Or, ignore.)
(I'm not perfect either. And I thank the Lord for helping me realize this. These are words of God, not my own. He uses people, whatever their age may be.)
God bless.
