The Bible is made for real life
The Bible speaks of life with God
over a period of thousands of years. It was inspired by the Spirit of God and written by the hand of
kings and shepherds, rich and poor, on three different continents and as many languages. It tells of cultures and historical events
that sometimes seem to have little direct application for our life today.
Not so. The Bible is a living document from the loving hand of our God to us. It is designed to tell us of our God and how to
live before Him. It holds healing, encouragement, prophecy of what will come, wisdom, the pain of humanity and the striving of God to set
us free.
One interpretation - many applications
The Word was written for a particular people, in a specific culture and time period. The author had an intentional message for those
people and one that they would have understood in the context of their day. It has only one interpretation and that is what the writer
intended to say to those people in that time for a specific reason.
We cannot say, "this is what it means to me" because it actually doesn't matter what we think it means, it only matters what it does mean."
Scripture is of no private interpretation the Word itself tells us. We must say, "this is what the text says and means and these
are the ways I will apply it to my life." We can take the truths given in the Word and apply them to our lives today.
