Mark Twain, an unbeliever, said about the Bible; “It’s not what I don’t understand about it that bothers me – it’s what I do understand that is the problem!” Although he apparently never did anything about those fears, his observation was absolutely accurate.
Someone else observed: “You may not understand all you read in the Bible, but you can obey what you do understand.” That statement is true, too.
What we’re saying here is that the Bible, while difficult to understand in a few places, really has a very simple story to tell. It teaches us about God in a down-to-earth, easy to digest sort of way. Its commands are explained so that a person with little or no formal education can still comprehend and comply. Simply put, you can know and obey the will of God. The only remaining question is: Will you do it?
