We need to learn how to read the word. I really want to emphasize this on this blog because it is so important. Many people take the word out of context. Biblical theology is focused on the teachings of the individual authors and books in the Bible. It presents the Old and New Testament writers theological teachings within their historical setting. It shows how the the Old Testament had to happen so that the New Testament could be completed in Jesus. The Bible is so deep, God can reveal so much to you through it !! Before you read you need to pray to God to give you revelation. It’s so beautiful how some people stay for a while on each book or verse because God has so much to say through it. The word is not like any other book, in fact it’s more than a book. It’s Jesus himself, he is the word… He is the truth, the way and the life. I emphasize that we need to becarful reading the word because I feel like now a days people twist the word of God to their own convience. The word was never intended for that, the word was intended for us to be transformed from our wicked ways. The word was given so that we could be redeemed and live a new life in Jesus Christ our Savior…. The life our Father in Heaven always intended us to have. Since many people don’t know how to read the word, they take things out of context. We need to read the word carefully and understand its background. We need to understand the times and why the writer said what they said. Understanding that everything that was said in the word was influenced and given by the Holy Spirit. Yes God used man to write the Bible, but it was He who gave the words. Let us never twist that and try to negate that God is the author of the word. This blog is so important to me because a lot of times we depend on man to tell us what God says. No, when we hear a preaching, or hear someone/anyone talk about the word of God, you need to go on your own and study it. Human beings can fail and they might be wrong on what the word is truly saying. That’s why you have to ask God for his revelation, what is he trying to show you and tell you. I also believe that God won’t ever contradict himself, he does not! Don’t be complacent or satisfy about hearing what people say about the word, you go yourself to the word and study it. Make sure God is revealing it to you the same way.
