We CAN Understand the Bible

The New Testament was written in the language of the common man. It was not written in classical Greek reserved for the elite and ruling class of the day. It was written for all individuals because God wanted everyone to be able to understand His language. God's message was so important that it was essential that He express Himself in language adapted to all men's understanding.

Those who make the excuse that "we cannot understand the Bible" are really not being honest. When individuals are too lazy, or too indifferent to read and study diligently the Bible, they then say "I just can't understand it." What people are really saying is that they have not really tried, in most cases. It is interesting that we can read and understand newspapers, magazines, and even a novel -- but we just can't understand the Bible. The Bible is a book which averages only five letters.

It is so important that we realize that our failure to understand God's Word is the difference between having salvation or being condemned. God has provided us with His Words of salvation. He leaves it up to each one of us to accept His Words or not. We make the choice of what we read and why. I encourage you to choose to read and obey God's Holy and inspired message before it is everlastingly too late. Hell will be occupied with those who made the choice not to read, understand, and obey the Bible.
