Help Me Understand


Luke 24:45       And He opened their understanding that they might comprehend 
                                 the Scriptures.

Understanding the Word of God is the foundation of our faith. Through the Word we are taught the truth concerning the Triune God. Only through Scripture can we learn of the person and works of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Only through Scripture and not though humanistic philosophy can we learn the truth about man: that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

The glorious doctrines of grace, redemption, the church, and the second coming can only be found in God’s Word. Yet, only God can give us understanding of these powerful truths. Until He gives us spiritual eyes to see, the Scriptures are meaningless to us. This is the reason the world calls God’s Word nonsense. It simply is incapable of understanding.  We must pray that our Lord will open our understanding that we might comprehend the Scriptures. Then and then only can we know Him in a deeper, more meaningful way.  Then and only then can we see the beauty and majesty of a glorious God and His glorious plan of redemption.       –To God be the Glory
