Myth, 76

 ~ Bible Study Is Too Complicated For Me ~

Introduction  ~  While some Bible study methods are complex they do not have to be.

The Teacher  ~  While there are many Bible teachers available to some the most significant teacher by all is the Holy Spirit which dwells inside the believer.  

Listen to words of Jesus Christ, "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:25-26).

If you a child of God you have the best tutor available and He is with you and ready to teach you 24/7.  This is not to imply that others can’t be helpful, they certainly can.  On the other hand there are false teachers all around.  The Holy Spirit is the only absolutely dependable Biblical teacher. 

The Process  ~  Open your Bible and sincerely pray that God will illuminate the Word to you.  Keep reading and praying.  You will be surprised how quickly your understanding will increase. 

Always remember that Jesus said this, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35).

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40).

Comment  ~  No one on earth will know it all when it comes to the Scriptures.  Many theologians have spent the vast majority of their waking hours studying the Bible but are still doing so with the realization they will never finish the task.
