Why is understanding God's Word important for Christians?
Answered in 2 sources
Understanding God's Word is vital as it reveals His will, His character, and the salvation through Jesus Christ.
Understanding God's Word is pivotal for Christians because it forms the foundation of our faith and practice. As noted in Psalm 119:18, the plea to have one's eyes opened reflects a desire for spiritual insight. This understanding is not merely academic but involves seeing the heart of God's redemptive plan. Jesus emphasized this in Luke 24:45, where He opened the disciples' minds to understand the Scriptures fully. Moreover, in John 8:32, Jesus states, 'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' A comprehension of God's Word leads to spiritual freedom and growth in our relationship with Him.
