Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,- Luke 24:45
Today some persons refers to the Holy Bible as history book, this show the extreme ignorance of some towards the things of God. "the gospel is the power of God unto salvation" Romans 1:16. Also in 1 Corinthians 1:21,
"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
Now, expect a man be born again, he cannot have access or understanding of the scriptures, why? There is spiritual veil cast over the unsaved soul. "But 'if' our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost" 2 Corinthians 4:3. This mystery is beyond the natural, no amount of educational prowess can access or change it, it can only take the blood of Jesus Christ to unveil it.
2 Corinthians 4:4 says,
"the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
A lot of people, even in the church will tell you, they don't believe in Jesus Christ, but they believe in God.
Well, 1 John 3:23 the scripture says,
"... this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment." whose commandment? God. See also, John 12:44,
"Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me."
1 John 2:22-23
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also .
In John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Contrary to many opinions and beliefs, Jesus is the one and only access to the Father.
It's in Christ Jesus that we have access to (revelation in) the word of God; access to the blessing, without getting corrupted (here and now) and access to life, hereafter (Eternity)!
I see every veil lifted from the lives of anyone that believe, in Jesus name!
Have a fruitful week!
Jesus is Lord!
