10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
KJV
Many times over the years I have heard those who claim salvation in Christ say that they cannot understand the Bible. One reason for a lack of understanding is found in verse ten above, a lack of obedience. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, the one who sheds light and understanding on the Word of God and He dwells within every born again child of God. One way of hindering the work of the Holy Spirit within is disobeying what we already know. If we know what the Bible says and choose not to do that it hinders our ability to grow and understand the Word of God. God’s Word is perfect, it is eternal, it is without fault and it will never change and when we are given to obedience to His Word it opens a door of understanding to us. When we lack understanding we need to check our obedience to God.
