 REPOSTING FROM MY FACEBOOK PAGE DATED FEBRUARY 15, 2026

Posting this for the third time. Maybe I won't delete it this time, as I've made some edits

The more I study, the more amazed I am at how God has explained so much in scripture that we think it too difficult for us. Have you been here? On one hand I understand that I accept these truths by faith, and on the other end I am amazed that when we really look at the deeper things, God has already explained them through scripture. 

Colossians 2:2-4 Amplified Bible

2 [For my hope is] that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in [unselfish] [a]love, so that they may have all the riches that come from the full assurance of understanding [the joy of salvation], resulting in a true [and more intimate] knowledge of the mystery of God, that is, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge [regarding the word and purposes of God]. 4 I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive [but thoroughly deceptive] arguments.

1 John 2:3-6

Amplified Bible

3 And this is how we know [daily, by experience] that we have come to know Him [to understand Him and be more deeply acquainted with Him]: if we habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings). 4 Whoever says, “I have come to know Him,” but does not habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings), is a liar, and the truth [of the divine word] is not in him. 5 But whoever habitually keeps His word and obeys His precepts [and treasures His message in its entirety], in him the love of God has truly been perfected [it is completed and has reached maturity]. By this we know [for certain] that we are in Him: 6 whoever says he lives in Christ [that is, whoever says he has accepted Him as God and Savior] ought [as a moral obligation] to walk and conduct himself just as He walked and conducted Himself.

Both Paul and John encourage us to go deeper into God’s precepts so that we may understand the mystery of Who God Is, so that we build a more intimate relationship with Him. We need to be habitually in His Word.

Don’t be afraid to search scripture. Have faith that God wants to speak to you through His Word. I’m not saying it is always easy or that there won’t be times when you think it’s too much. Stay focused on scripture. There is great treasure waiting for us.
