Many Are Ignorant Of The Bible
Many people today are ignorant of the Bible. It is not that they don't know that there is a book called the Bible. Many of them know about it. They know it to be a religious book. Some relegate it to the background as a book of fallacies. So, many people in the world do not know the Bible. The Bible has remained a sealed document to so many.
Many Christians Too Don't Know The Bible
Yes, several people in the church don't know the Bible. Many christians have been going to church; getting engaged with most of the religious activities, yet they don't know the Bible. Many people don't have the time to read the Bible. They can run around for other things but reading the Bible is difficult for them. Such people can't know the Bible. To them, the Bible is alien to them.
They are still another set of christians who love reading the Bible but in their life, they do not reflect the fruits from the Bible. They do not benefit in any way from the Bible. Their lives is not better as if they understand the Bible. Such people know the Bible but they do not understand the Word of God. The Bible is a book but the Word of God is life. The Bible is the container that carries the word of God.
For someone to understand the Bible, he or she needs to allow the Holy Spirit to teach him or her. The Holy Spirit must be the One teaching us because he is the only one who can interpret the Bible to us. For those who have not been reading their Bibles, you just need to start reading your Bible. The Lord Jesus Christ had told us to search the scriptures because in them we have eternal life.
