You can understand scripture threw Jesus, ask him! see previous post for vers.

Many pepeople don't read the Bible and say, I can't understand it, too confusing.  I used to be one of those people.  But if you ask Jesus to open your mind, your eyes and your heart, he will and you will be able to understand.  The Old and New Testiment.  I have also heard people say I don't need to read the Bible, I just have to listion to the message preached at church or on TV.  Now that is scarry.  You have to read the scriptures yourself, so you know when you are hearing Truth and when Someone is lieing.  And infact, the gift of the HolySpirit is your teacher, he will lead you into all truth, he will be your teacher and your guide.  Yes we have been given men who are teachers, but the HolySpirit is to lead you and that teacher. And if that teacher is saying anything contrary to what the Bible says, he his teaching a lie.

Jesus opened eyes to understand scriptures because in the OT there are all sorts of scriptures about his coming and who he is and he wants you to see and have conficance in him. Also scriptures is one of God's ways of comunicating with us, it tells us what he requires of us, how he feels about us and who he is and his charter. I like to think of it as a big love letter written with passion for me, words put down thousands a years ago but still God has me in mind when he authored it and his Word aplys to these times as well has the past.  A close walk with him requires you read his Word, just as a close relationship with a spouce requires you talking with eachother. Make his words live in you, abide in you.  Think on them always, sing of them, write them all around your home.  This is no ordinary book, it is the Word Of God.  If you are longing for a relationship with God and want to understand him and your place, the Bible is the best place to start.  Ask, and it shall be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it will be open to you.  That is a Promise!
