A Simple Explanation Of The Bible Scriptures

By Elsa Noel


The Bible scriptures are open and elaborate for us to decipher and have always withstood the centuries tumultuous times and seasons. They are Gods word expressly laid out for us to earn wisdom and teaching. The teachings in the scriptures are consistent and can be relied on for spiritual nourishment of the soul. Different people come up with closely similar explanation of the Bible scriptures but the interpretations might be different.

The books of the holy scripture are written by prominent people. The holy book on the other hand is arranged in a manner in which the scriptures of the first books are on creation while the last ones dwell on our eventual end. How these words of wisdom have survived over the ages is nothing short of a miracle.

Nowadays we do live in troubling times where Christianity is on a path of recession. The love of God is being substituted more by the desire for pleasures and observation of outward formalities. Many Christians are learning from guest speakers, attending seminars, holding Bible studies, teleconferencing, C. D ministries, radio programs and television shows.

This however this does not necessarily mean that they are closer to the truth. A son of God can overcome this type of preachers and their mass appealing sermons by grasping fast to the scriptures as referenced in the second book of Timothy 3:14-4:4. Which better place to get candid information than from particular source itself.

Present in the holy book are many concepts and words with many with meanings that vary in application and meaning. For instance during the biblical times in the old testament king Jehoshaphat appointed the various chiefs of Israel as well as Levites to be able to solve disputes that were within Gods law. In the New Testament there are also areas of conflict in this scripture. If Philip had not met the Ethiopian eunuch and given him the proper interpretation, he would have gone back to his country still ignorant irrespective of his heart being rightly placed.

Bible verses and scriptures empower the believer by giving them direction to how they will confront challenging situations in life. The Bibles teachings can be related to the daily hurdles that engulf as such as the desire for spiritual growth, financial prosperity as well as inner satisfaction. They can be used as a yardstick for one to review the way they relate with others.

Understanding the scripture comes with great benefits to one spiritually. We do see many instances whereby the Jews had knowledge of these scriptures but they did not understand their meaning. Instances are such as in Mathew 9:13; 12:7; 22:23-33; Acts 13:27. A lot of people have given up on the holy book claiming that if learned scholars themselves have not been able to amicably arrive at a common stand on scripture, then the truth is totally elusive.

In some old testament excerpt in Isaiah 28:9-13 as well as Proverbs 8:9, there is the general belief that scripture is easy to them that understand, but difficult to other people. In the New Testament Peter even goes ahead to confess that Paul epistles were hard to understand. Jesus also told the Jews to search the scriptures as he was present in them, John 5:39
