What Is the Purpose of the Bible?
The Bible is designed to restore our relationship with God and transform our thinking (Romans 12:2 NLT).

It empowers us to live godly lives and releases its power through prayer and declaration.

Jesus’ promise in Matthew 7:7-8 encourages us to ask, seek, and knock so God can open His Word to us.

Why Do We Struggle to Understand the Bible?
Humans are soulish beings—dominated by thoughts, desires, and emotions—which limits our understanding of spiritual truths.

God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8).
The Bible is spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14), and Satan blinds unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Without God’s revelation, we cannot fully grasp the Bible’s truths (1 Corinthians 1:18).

God’s Role in Revealing the Truth of the Bible
Spiritual Revelation Requires Relationship: God’s purpose is to draw us into a relationship with Him (John 6:44-45; Romans 12:1-2).

The Bible is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16) and alive with His power (Hebrews 4:12 NLT).

The Bible is a living book that exposes and transforms our innermost thoughts.

How God Reveals the Truths of the Bible

1. Through the Word Itself
Scripture is God-breathed and teaches, corrects, and trains us (2 Timothy 3:16).
God’s Word is a lamp to guide our steps (Psalm 119:105).
Faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17 NKJV).

2. Through the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit teaches and reminds us of God’s truths (John 14:26; 16:13).
Revelation depends on our relationship with God and the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us (Acts 20:32; John 17:17).

3. Through Prayer and Meditation
God responds to our prayers and reveals unsearchable truths (Jeremiah 33:3; James 1:5).
Meditation on God’s Word allows the Holy Spirit to guide us (Psalm 1:2; 119:97).

4. Through the Church – God’s People
God uses fellow believers, pastors, and teachers to reveal His Word. (Ephesians 4:11-13).
We learn and grow through fellowship and sharpening one another (Proverbs 27:17).

5. Through Life Experience
God teaches us through trials and pain, which often reveal His truths (Psalm 119:71).
Lessons like forgiveness, faith, and patience are learned through lived experiences.

6. Through Obedience
Acting on God’s Word brings blessings and deeper understanding (James 1:22, 25).
Obedience leads to spiritual growth and freedom in Christ (Matthew 13:12; Psalm 111:10).

Action Steps to Understand the Bible
1. Heart – Start with the Right Attitude
Be humble and teachable (James 4:6). Receive grace. Reflect on areas you need to change.

2. Habit – Read God’s Word Daily
Just as the Israelites gathered daily manna, we must seek daily spiritual nourishment (Matthew 4:4; Jeremiah 15:16).

Use study tools like Bible Gateway but rely on the Bible as the primary source (2 Timothy 2:15).
Ensure consistency with scripture and avoid building doctrines on single verses.

4. Trust – Rely on God’s Timing
Trust that God’s Word will accomplish His purposes (Isaiah 55:11; Habakkuk 2:3).
God uses delays to build faith and character.

5. Action – Walk in Obedience
Apply what you know and trust God to reveal more as you grow (John 8:31-32; Luke 8:18).
