Building the Right Foundation

There is nothing that God has written that we can not read or understand (2 Corinthians1:13). In order to handle the word of God correctly, we must present ourselves as a workman. One reason why there are so many interpretations is because people do not follow Yehovah’s instructions about correctly handling the Word. Correctly handling leads to a life that grows in knowledge and maturity. Incorrect handling can leads to false teaching, deception and ultimately destruction. Yehovah reveals himself to His people and His word can be understood. Two requirements for understanding Yehovah’s word are having the Holy Spirit and we must seek the truth. Finally we are not to go beyond what is written! God’s word is the ultimate source of truth and we are to stay in the boundaries of His word. Going outside of Gods word with our imagination and man’s teachings will lead to false teaching, deception and ultimately destruction.
