Wisdom in "the Word of God" - Conclusion of What the Bible Does Not Contain


In contrast, when we make a careful study of the Bible with a sincere heart, we come to see Jehovah in the context in which the Bible as a whole presents him.  Hence, we are not disturbed if a particular account raises some questions as to which we cannot find immediate answers.  To illustrate:  When piecing together a large puzzle, perhaps we cannot first find a particular piece or we cannot see how a certain piece fits in.  Yet, we may have assembled enough of the pieces to grasp what the complete picture must look like. Similarly, when we study the Bible, little by little we learn about the kind of God Jehovah is, and a definite picture emerges. Even if we cannot at first understand a certain account or see how it fits in with God's personality, our study of the Bible has already taught us more than enough about Jehovah to enable us to see that he is unfailingly a loving, fair, and just God.

To comprehend God's Word, then, we must read and study it with a sincere heart and an open mind.  Is this not evidence of Jehovah's great wisdom?  Clever humans can write books that only  "wise and intellectual ones" can grasp.  But to author a book that can be understood only by those having the right heart motivation-that takes the wisdom of God! -Matthew 11:25.
