Jesus said, I have come to give you life and give it to you more abundantly. So why are so many not living the abundant life we have been promised as believers' in Christ? Is it because we do not study the word of God ourselves and have been blinded by false interpretations of the Bible and Scriptures? In the Bible, the word of God explains that God’s children perish because of lack of knowledge. Yet we have all these churches all over the world teaching how to interpret the Bible and interpret scripture. Take a moment and think about this. Have you noticed in the Bible when Jesus went into the synagogues, structures created for worship, he said their teachings were incorrect? Then he would teach truth and feed the crowd knowledge followed by him walking out of the synagogue. Here in the 21st century, we found more people leaving churches and living unfilled lives. Have you found yourself walking out of church early or questioning what you are being taught in church? Have you ever made an effort to read the Bible for yourself without a Bible interpretation from someone else on what it means? There was a call to action in 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Where would you be if you studied the word of God more instead of being taught or given an opinion by someone else?
As more people lean toward self help books or Bible study guides they are enlighten on the things of God and not the traditions of religion. Learning the truth about the word of God should not be difficult. It’s the outside influences and other people’s interpretations of the Bible that make it challenging. We are trying to make sense of what we have been taught biblically by others as opposed to what we are actually experiencing or reading in the scriptures. Jesus said his word is truth and that Heaven and Earth would pass away but not his word! Read the bible verse Matthew 24:35. Therefore those questions of how to interpret the scriptures should be answered one way; we do it literally word for word. There is no hidden meaning behind the word of God. The word of God tells us his word is not hidden from us but hidden from those that are lost. Reflect on the bible verse Luke 19:10 “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost,” those whom have gone astray. Believers in Jesus Christ do not need instructions on how to interpret the Bible. God gives us understanding in all things. Rather it is healing in our bodies, debt cancellation or the wages of sin causing spiritual separation from God. God is our go to for answers regardless of the situation. Those struggling in this world and seeking answers should pick up a Bible study guide and develop a personal relationship with God. So when your inter-being is wrestling with a situation you will know it's God’s wisdom leading and guiding you because you have been spending time in the word of God. God does not require us to follow rules or meet conditions for wisdom from him. God does this out of love for us. The bible verse John 3:16 has shown us just how much unconditional love God has for us.
Going to church is not the only way to experience God, nor does it make a person more righteous. God’s word is meant to inspire people to live. Read the bible verse Deuteronomy 30:19. God placed before us life and death, the blessing and the curse then told us to choose life. Trials and tribulations come with living here on earth for the purpose of experiencing the right to choose good or evil. Life is a journey that consists of different paths. No two paths are alike, each person’s path is unique and their own. God wants us to live a God fearing life. Yet he gives us the right to choose. Learn how to utilize the tools God has provided for us to rightly divide truth, the word of God. Seek God for understanding of his word by reading the Bible and studying. Allow him to direct your path in the way you should go. Those who are getting their steps ordered by God and not by man are living the spiritual life they were called to live. Those who are struggling are stuck in church devotion or have been blinded to the things of God. Are you not getting anything out of church anymore? Have you hit rock bottom with your back against the wall with nowhere to turn? Do you desperately need a breakthrough? Well you’re not alone. Pick up a self help book or Bible study guide today and discover what has been hidden from you, because you are lost and Jesus died to save you from your struggles.
