It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
Trying to figure things out in the natural, with the human understanding,
will not be beneficial in your relationship with Jesus.
While it is good to understand the Bible in the flesh, there is more to it.
There is another meaning and likely several. God’s word is alive. It reproduces.
It covers many circumstances and each scripture, each word in each scripture testifies of God. The Bible is God in word form.
That is why we have the stark warning about taking words out of the Bible
or adding words to the Bible.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19
Removing words or adding words to or from the Bible
was mentioned also in Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish ought from it,
that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God
which I command you.
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto,
nor diminish from it. Deuteronomy 12:32
We cannot pick and choose. That is why loving the truth is so vital. By loving the truth, we agree with the Lord,
even though we might have arguments against it.
A form of submission to Him and not being ashamed of His words
in this perverse and adulterous generation.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words
in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38
Take God’s word very seriously. Let the Holy Spirit teach you and plant the word in your heart. Then, let it grow. The one thing you understand on the surface has a much deeper meaning. That is the difference between milk and meat.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 1 Corinthians 3:2
The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-23 is helpful in understanding
and the lessons in God’s word are never-ending.
There will always be more to learn about God’s wordm
which helps us to understand Him and grow closer to Him if we embrace the truth, not in the simplicity of the flesh, but with the spirit, His Spirit.
