Scripture Is Its Own Interpreter

 What is mankind that we should be mindful of what others think of us? Too often the gospel truth to which we hold fast, is foolishness to the world of mankind and can also be distorted by the finite thinking of many theologians.
 It is also the Scripture, which is His inerrant Word of Truth that is to be the focus of our studies and not the wise philosophies or limited scope of mortal man's understanding. Through the study of His Word, we should make every effort to discover the beautiful wisdom that are found within its pages. 
 But what does it mean to rightly divide this Word of truth? What does it mean to rightly divide the Scriptures of God? Well, we are to accurately handle the content of the Bible. We are to correctly learn and teach all that has been revealed to mankind in God's Word, to correctly interpret the Scriptures. We are to rightly divide the Word of truth!
 Scripture should not be taken out of context nor twisted to say what we would like it to say, or even think it says! The Word of God is one unified whole which unveils the unchanging nature and character of God and the devastating effects of sin, which is a concept that threads throughout the Word.
 Scripture Is Its Own Interpreter, and the Holy Spirit becomes the teacher of the believer that is walking in spirit and truth, so let us:
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word of truth and the grace that it contains. We pray that by Your grace, we may walk in spirit and truth as we search the Scriptures daily to discover what Your Holy Spirit would teach us. Give us understanding of Your Word, teachable spirits, and guide us into all truth, We Pray. this In Jesus' name, AMEN.
