He’s The Teacher Within – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 10th

(The Holy Spirit Will Help You With Scripture Interpretation)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 John 2:27 NIV
“As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.”

LET’S TALK
In the light of so many different Bible translations today, how can one know which is most accurate?

Sometimes, some of them say the same things differently, and that’s tricky enough; but at other times, they say opposite things, and it becomes really tough. One might put a verse in question form, while another puts it in the affirmative. So, it makes you wonder: Which is right?

There are several rules for Scripture interpretation, but those rules are mostly academic. When you use these academic rules, you’ll only be as good as the theologians can be.

Having a theological explanation is good, but you won’t be any better than those who already have different or questionable interpretations of the Scriptures. The question then would be: How do you know the actual truth?

The Holy Spirit is the author of the Scriptures. He knows everything in the Scriptures because He gave them to us.

The Bible says, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…” (2 Timothy 3:16), that God is the Holy Spirit. He lives in us and carries out His ministry inside us.

The Bible says, “…The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints” (Ephesians 1:17–18).

The Holy Spirit is the One who opens the eyes of our understanding, unveiling mysteries and secrets to us in the Scriptures.

He’s the Spirit of knowledge; He knows all things and teaches us all things so that we can deal wisely in all affairs of life.

Take your fellowship with Him more seriously; He’ll unveil His truths to your spirit in ways you never thought possible.

Speak:
I’ll never be at a crossroads in life because the Teacher lives in me and unveils truths to my spirit. He teaches me, not just some things, but all things—everything I need to know about life and godliness. Glory to God!
