The Bible is ...Self interpreting
Being Born...
The Bible is self-interpreting IF you have the right equipment. God's
covenant is so powerful that it creates a whole new life in you born
out of His own Spirit. Without his Spirit, the Bible is just rules and
confusing stories.
One time Jesus was talking with Nicodemus, a trained teacher of Jewish Law observence and he explained to him,..
John 3:3-5
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born
again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with,
and experience) the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born?
Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell
you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot
[ever] enter the kingdom of God. [Ezek 36:25-27.]
What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. AMP
You must be born from above.. or you cannot even see God's Kingdom,
let alone understand how it operates and how you are to live in it. But
when you are born from above (born of the Spirit)...
You have another birthday
...and You have the right to BECOME Sons (actual blood relatives) of God
John 1:12-13
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not
of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of
God. KJV
Jesus said, My words are SPIRIT…
John 6:63-64
3 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have
spoken to you are spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you
who do not believe." NIV
"Spirit" here is the greek word, "pneuma" meaning "breath" or blast. It
means "Inspired word", the pneuma of God, "Breath of God", or "God
breathed"
Genesis 2:7 describes how God breathed into Adam, and what He
breathed into him was Life. It is the same action, when God speaks,
Life comes out, when we record His words and later read and believe
them, they still produce Life because His words Are actually Life
itself.
His word is ALIVE - it contains POWER to change things. the Bible is not a book of rules, it is a book of life.
The only thing that hinders Life being produced in us is our receiving
and believing his words for what they are. The concept of "believing"
is more than just a casual agreement with a general idea. Believing in
the biblical application involves a complete surrendering over to your
life into what is being revealed by the words said. It is nothing less
than entering into covenant relationship, yielding over your whole self
completely to the words and Spirit of God.
When the scriptures say that
Gen 15:6
And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained
steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness
(right standing with God). [Rom 4:3,18-22; Gal 3:6; James 2:23.] AMP
it is describing Abraham recieving and walking in the strong bonds of God's covenent, not just a casual belief.
God's word has power to create things, In the beginning, God said,
Let there be... and it was. All of the universe, and life exist as a
result of God's words being released.
The Bible can only be fully understood from the realm of the Spirit. God is Spirit (John 4:24).
If you read with common understanding, the Bible produces legalism, arguments, and death instead of life.
