THE BIBLE TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY ALL

“The Bible with its precious gems of truth, was not written for the scholar alone. On the contrary, it was designed for the common people. The poor man needs it as much as the rich man, the unlearned as much as the learned… If the unlearned are not capable of understanding the Bible, then the mission of Christ to our world was useless;

The command to search the Scriptures, Christ addressed not only to the scribes and Pharisees but to the great multitude of the common people who crowded about Him…

The Bible is addressed to everyone, to every class of society, to every class of society, to every clime and age.

Everyone should read the Bible for himself.

Do not depend on the minister to read it for you”. 23

EVER UNFOLDING

“God intends that to the earnest seeker the truths of His Word shall be ever unfolding. While”the secret things belong unto the Lord our God”, “those things that are revealed belong unto us and our children”. The idea that certain portions of the Bible can not be understood has led to neglect of some of its most important truths.The fact needs to be emphasized, and often repeated, that the mysteries of the Bible are not such because God has sought to conceal truth, but because our own weakness or ignorance makes us incapable of comprehending or appropriating truth. The limitation is not in its purpose, but in our capacity. Of those very portions of scripture so often passed by as impossible to be understood, God desires us to understand as much as our minds are capable of receiving.”

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God” that we may be “thoroughly furnished unto all good works”.
