Exploring Deep Concepts & Mysteries of the Bible by Neal Fox - HTML preview

Conclusion

The Bible is meant to be understood since God revealed all the information contained in it for a reason, namely, that God wants us to understand Him, believe Him, trust Him, and as a result live by faith in Him.  It is relatively easy to understand a few of the basic doctrines and principles contained in the Bible, but getting to the deep concepts and doctrines is difficult.  And it is the deep concepts and doctrines which elevate our spiritual life to the highest levels possible.  

This book has dealt with a number of deep doctrines which scholars have considered to be “inscrutable” (not knowable) and therefore not possible to understand in this life.  Hopefully the reader now sees how wrong they were.  God has made it possible to know Him at a deeply personal level.  The topics chosen for explanation in this book are among those which have either been the least understood by Christians or those called inscrutable by scholars.  There are many more subjects which could be covered, but at least we have made progress.  Even if we do not understand everything fully, we can still understand God, His plan, and the things God wants us to know in the detail He has enabled us to understand them.

The Bible is truly an amazing gift, allowing mere mortals to understand God.  It should be no surprise that it is hard to understand, but if it were not, then it would not be the truth from God.  But God has not left us alone or without help, but rather has provided the Holy Spirit as our mentor, and He makes this understanding possible when we seek to learn.  And it is learning the Word of God by consistent study which fills our human spirit with God's truth, renovates our thinking, elevates our spiritual life, glorifies God and our Savior Jesus Christ, and results in great blessings during our life on earth and during the Eternal State.  And after all, the Bible is the roadmap for the Christian way of life, and we need to know the way.  

We have explored doctrines such as the Trinity, the interaction of the humanity and deity of Christ, and others which, once they are understood, serve to deepen our knowledge of God and engender greater love and worship of Him.  Of course, we would like to know even more, but what we can understand from the Bible is enough to make our faith very strong.  God has revealed amazing things to us if we would just seek to know them.
