I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. You can, and will be able to understand the Bible far better than you ever thought you could. So many Believers have the faulty impression that the Bible is very difficult to understand.
They think it is filled with mysteries, secret meanings, veiled in spiritual language which is given to only a few special men of God, and has many different meanings and one man’s interpretation is as good as another,
and you can make it mean whatever you want it to mean, but nothing could be farther from the truth (God’s Plan for Man pg 36, Finis J. Dake) .
Today, you will be relieved to know that God wants you to understand the Bible, and because He does His Spirit will quicken your mind and help you to understand it.
This may be hard to believe, but again let me quote Finis Dake who wrote this, ‘THE BIBLE IS THE MOST SIMPLE BOOK TO UNDERSTAND.
To the average person this sounds ridiculous, but if you will stop to consider a few simple facts you will change your mind and see how sensible such a conclusion really is. The Reasons for this claim are” (Reasons given by Finis Dake)
*BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS A REVELATION. A revelation is an ‘uncovering or unveiling so all can see what was previously covered or hidden. The only excuse for not seeing is, if one refused to look at what has been uncovered.
*BECAUSE OF IT’S REPEATED TRUTHS. Over and over again the Bible repeats truth so that “in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” (2 Cor. 13:1).
Don’t build some new belief or doctrine on just one obscure scripture. If there isn’t much said about a certain subject, don’t you make a grand stand over it.
That which is absolutely necessary for you to know and for you to live out in your every day life is repeated over and over again.

JESUS DEATH ON THE CROSS, THE SHEDDING OF HIS BLOOD FOR OUR FORGIVENESS, CLEANSING, AND REDEMPTION, AND HIS PAYING THE FULL PRICE OF CALVARY WAS VERY NECESSARY, AND IS THE KEY TO OUR RECEIVING ALL THESE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS.
READ: THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS
THAT FULL PRICE IS ALL THAT I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT AND ALSO, THE TAKING OF STRIPES ON HIS BACK.
THE CROWN OF THORNS ON HIS HEAD, HIS SUFFERING, DEATH, WAS ALL FOR US THAT WE MIGHT HAVE REDEMPTION, PEACE WITH GOD, AND A HEAVEN TO GO TO WHEN JESUS RETURNS FOR HIS BRIDE.

Anything Not taught in the Bible should not be taught in church or in the home.
If God has said anything on a subject, he will have said it several times and the collection of all He’s said, on that subject will be so clear that there will be no need for any interpretation.
THE TRUTH IS OUT IN THE OPENING. “The entrance of Thy Word gives light” (Psalm 119:130).
Scripture has only one Interpretation. We call that the ‘HISTORICAL GRAMATICAL INTERPRETATION.
There is one Interpretation only. However the Holy Spirit may give a number of applications, or spiritual insights that can be very valuable, as long as we remember that they are spiritual applications, with just one interpretation.

*BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN THE MOST SIMPLE HUMAN LANGUAGE POSSIBLE. Anyone who understands their own language will understand the simple language of the Bible.
If you read it again, it will say the same thing. If a group of people read it they will all understand it to mean the same as everybody else.
If all can read it and understand it then why do we think we need an interpretation of it. Just simply believe what it says, and then simply “BE A DOER OF THE WORD AND NOT A HEARER ONLY” (James 1:22).
*BECAUSE GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE. If God is the author of the Bible than we have a right to expect to understand it.
God can make what He’s written clearer than any man is able to. If God did not write the Bible so we could understand it, then we must conclude that God didn’t want us to understand it. Why then, did He give His Word to man?
*THE BIBLE IS SIMPLE. BECAUSE IT WAS GIVEN BY GOD TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE SIMPLE (Deuteronomy 29:29). “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things ‘REVEALED’ belong to us, and our children forever, that we might follow all the words of the law”.
Paul speaks of the Devil blinding the minds of men so that they won’t believe and be saved (2 Cor 4:4).
Dear Child of God, you can now open your Bible, and with confidence know that you ‘CAN UNDERSTAND IT’. Because it is written in simple human language that you can understand without special interpretation.
If you are sincere, and want to know the Bible better, and know God better, this is the start of that day.
Because of this knowledge you can understand the Bible better, and get to know what God wants for you.
You can now get closer to God than you ever were before. You can now pray better, resist the devil better, and experience God better, and worship Him better.
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY THE LORD HAS MADE.
GOD BLESS YOU IN EVERY WAY AS YOU READ THE WORD, STUDY THE WORD, EMBRACE THE WORD, AND MEMORIZE THE WORD.
YES, GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU BELIEVE THE WORD, RECEIVE SALVATION, HEALING, DELIVERANCE, THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH BELIEVING AND ACTING UPON HIS WORD.
This is all possible because you wanted to ‘KNOW THE BIBLE BETTER, AND TODAY THAT IS BEING FULFILLED.
