We should study the Bible to understand it. To understand the Bible requires studying and meditating on it. Asking for ways of understanding the Bible is not a bad idea. It is a very good thing for a christian to do. We must have adequate knowledge of the word of God and study it everyday. We are to reflect the goodness of God. We are to teach others the ways of God. We cannot teach them when we do not understand the Word of God ourselves. We must win the world to God by the testimony of Jesus Christ. It is my understanding the Bible that we will be able to testify to the goodness of God.
To understand the Bible, we need to read it and to meditate on it. We cannot understand what we do not read. Information is what helps someone to understand something. We must obey the commandments of God. The commandments are written in the Bible. It is when we read the Bible that we understand the things that are the promises of God. We must read it everyday. We should meditate on what we are meditating. We should think about what we are reading. When we meditate on the word of God, our understanding will be opened.
The Holy Spirit is the one who can teach us the word of God. There is no way we can understand the Word of God without the Holy Spirit. It is the spirit of a man that is in him that can understand the things of that man. So, the Holy Spirit (who is the spirit of God) is the one who can teach us the things of God.
