For example, a babe in Christ
will easily see only three numbers 6, 0, and 4; others see four numbers; some
perceive 5, and a few can see 6, 8, 9, 4, 2 and 1; all beautifully jived and
harmoniously connected.
Let's illustrate this with John 3:16:
"For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life,"
He will at least hear the
sound of the following:
- God SO LOVED...
- He gave His only begotten Son,
- believing, and
- everlasting life.
Some may be content with the
sound of these things, BUT clueless how these are biblically related; in fact, they
may be quite wrong with some of their understanding and are oblivious of their
errors.
So many end up believing that a man without everlasting life is capable of believing to get eternal life. They see John 3:16 as a prescription on how to get everlasting life. But John 3:16 is a DESCRIPTION of "whosoever believeth" - i.e., every believing one HAS/POSSESSES everlasting life.
It's like saying, "whosoever breathes has life." But many take it as a prescription; what the dead must do to get life!
This is so basic and elementary, but multitudes of Christ get it wrong.
Hebrews 5 KJV —
12 For when for the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and
not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth
milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth
to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both good and evil.
Those with exercised senses
would see a lot more in John 3:16 and in their biblical context.
Think about the matter.
