It is written, then OPENED he their UNDERSTANDING, that they might UNDERSTAND the SCRIPTURES. (Luke 24:45)
This is to say, first and foremost what you need in Christ in this World is to ask God to give you UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES. After Jesus Christ resurrected, He went to show Himself to His disciples He spent three and half years with, wine and dine with them and gave them UNDERSTANDING that they might understand SCRIPTURES. Why is it necessary that first and foremost Jesus Christ's followers in this World including you should first and foremost UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURES? It is because (1) Scriptures was inspired by the Holy Spirit of Christ (2) Scriptures reveals the true personalities, purpose, principles, power and position of Jesus Christ (3) Scriptures was written by Holy men who were moved by the Holy Spirit of Christ (4) Scriptures was given by the Holy Spirit of Christ for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness that men will be perfect and thoroughly furnished to do good works in this World. (5) Scriptural knowledge helps you to hear the Holy Spirit's Voice clearly and to follow His leading safely and surely. Based on the above five (5) obvious and very important reasons, it is needful and useful that you first and foremost UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURES richly before anything else. True! That is why Jesus Christ first and foremost after His resurrection, gave His disciples understanding that they might UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURES. You too need such understanding if you truly desire to make divine designed and designated kind of PROFIT and PROGRESS meant for you in Christ in this World. True! Finally, I believe the Bible calls those who daily search the scriptures for truths or to confirm truths (that they are told) as NOBLE compare to those who do not because as Jesus Christ timely said, and you shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall make you FREE. Likewise, and you shall know the LIE and the LIE will make you be in BONDAGE. It is unfortunate that lots of Christians are foolishly or ignorantly thinking, speaking and living by LIES they have read or told by their spiritual leaders who truly has NO TRUE understanding of scriptures. That is why Apostle lamented, O foolish Galatians, who had bewitched you, that YOU SHOULD NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ had been evidently set forth, crucified among you? If I may ask you, do you truly UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURES? Do you truly understand scriptures why God sent Jesus Christ to this World to suffer, die, was buried and resurrected on your behalf? Do you truly understand what CHRISTIANITY is all about? Do you truly understand what being a true Child of God or a true CHRISTIAN (Christ's follower) in this World is all about? No better time should you passionately and persistently CRY to GOD in the name of Jesus for UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES than in this period of Easter when Christians all over the World celebrates Jesus Christ's suffering, death, burial and resurrection, a critical event in the reason Jesus Christ graciously came to this sinful World to pay the price of our SIN. True! (2 Timothy 3:15-17; Luke 24; Philippians 2:5-11; 2 Peter 1:19-21; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Colossians 3:16,17; Acts 17:11; Jeremiah 3:14,15; John 8:32; Galatians 3:1; John 3:15-21).
God bless you.
