Let God inspire your heart before you can enlighten your mind.
John 14:5
"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?"
JOHN 14:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Thomas knew Jesus. He just didn't realize
Jesus was "the way." Likewise, people today know portions of God's Word
but they don't realize that God's Word is their way to victory. Often,
people cry out for God to speak to them while their Bible lays unopened
on their nightstand. God has spoken to us through His Word. We just need
to believe it and receive its truths as our way to victory.
Jesus didn't say: "I am a way, or a truth, and or a life."
He claimed to be the only way, truth, and life. No man can come to the Father except through Jesus. This means that anyone who claims to honor Jesus while advocating other ways to get to God, or truth, or life, besides Jesus, is deceived or is a deceiver.
Jesus' claims about Himself, of which there is only one, left no room for other means to salvation. He is either who He says He is, or He is the greatest deceiver of all time. His own statements about Himself leave no other alternatives. Therefore, other religions that recognize Jesus and His teachings as wonderful examples, but don't believe He is the only way to achieve salvation, are false.
The Word of God is a spiritual book written under the direction of the Holy Spirit. It was not written to our head but to the innermost part of our heart. This is why some people find the Bible so hard to understand. They are trying to comprehend it using only their mind.
The Word of God has to inspire our heart before it can enlighten our mind.
