“Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye
cannot hear my word. (44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:43 -
44
If we truly understand any of God’s word, then we understand
how blessed we are to understand anything about God that is truth. People do
not have the ability to comprehend what the truth of the bible is unless the
Holy Spirit teaches it to them, even Christians. “But the anointing which ye
have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no
lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” 1 John 2:27
People on their own believe in humanism and therefore they are not believing
spiritually. Whether lost or saved people on their own cannot grasp an
understanding of God’s word. The bible is a revelation and therefor must be taught
as a revelation. People even saved people can read the scriptures thru in completion
5 times a year and not understand what they are reading. As Christians we must
understand that every ability we have as God’s children is by the work of the
Holy Spirit, not by us. Everything in the life of the believer is a gift of
God, we can only accomplish what God gives us by grace. If you attend a church
of truth, the speaker must be of God or God sent otherwise the message is dead.
Only God sent speakers can teach a godly message, because it is God who
spiritually controls His speakers of truth. In fact, it is God who controls
everything is a Christians life, “Thou gavest also thy good spirit to
instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them
water for their thirst.” Nehemiah 9:20 It is God who ordained
everything is a believer’s life, “For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 God even went on to prove this in the
book of Acts “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is
Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; (25) Neither
is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth
to all life, and breath, and all things; (28) For in him we live, and move, and
have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also
his offspring.” Acts 17:24,25,28 The more a Christian understands God
is our everything in everything it is then the more we will understand just how
blessed we truly are in His grace.
