Davar Kingdom Of God

It is through the fellowship with Christ that a person understands God’s word and learns anything meaningful to his/her life. When you hear God’s word without the fellowship with Christ, you will fall into the same pitfall as the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law did by becoming legalistic in the way you interpret the Bible and apply it to your everyday life. For legalistic people, the Bible is something of the letter, not of the word that reveals the will of God concerning their personal life, or the message that God speaks privately to their hearts. You are able to learn God’s word only by coming personally to Christ. You do this spiritually, not simply by hearing about Christ through books and preachers, but by learning directly from him. You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus (Eph 4:20-21). To learn the truth in the Bible is to learn the person of Christ himself because he is the truth. H
