How do we understand the bible// the old path

For you to understand the words of God in the bible you need to open your mind and heart to listen to his words. To understand the words of God you need the wisdom not knowledge and only God himself can give the wisdom. This means we should approach the Scriptures with prayer, asking God for wisdom and guidance. When we read with humility and a desire to obey, God helps us understand His message clearly. The Holy Spirit plays an important role in teaching believers the true meaning of God’s word and helping us apply it to our daily lives.

Another important way to understand the Bible is by reading it carefully and in context. Each verse should be understood within the chapter, the book, and the overall message of the Bible. Comparing Scriptures with other Scriptures helps to avoid misunderstanding. The Bible explains itself, and studying related passages gives clearer meaning.

2 Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”

Obedience can help us to understand his words. If we live a good life, it will help us to understand the scriptures. Jesus taught that those who are willing to do God’s will shall know the truth. Studying the Bible regularly, listening to sound teaching, and living out what we learn help us grow in spiritual understanding. The Bible is not only meant to be read, but to be lived, and through this, God’s truth becomes more meaningful and clear.
