Isaiah 28:9,10 This scripture is informing us of how GOD reveals HIS truth in the scriptures. There are more scriptures that add to this understanding; John 6:45 informs us that GOD uses Jesus as the mediator to reveal HIS truth. Peter tells us that GOD inspired men to write the scriptures in both covenants. 2 Peter 1:21 2 Peter 3:15,16 Peter calls Paul’s writings scripture. Jesus said that Christians must search the scriptures for answers, Matthew 7:7 Jesus spoke in parables to hide the truth from all but the church. Matthew 13:11,12,13 Jesus continues by showing in the prophet Isaiah how his comments were prophesied beforehand. Matthew 13:14,15
Are you beginning to see how the truth is scattered ; precept upon precept line upon line, from Genesis to Revelation and that asking, seeking and knocking along with diligently searching the scripture with GODS guidance through Christ will teach the truth.
Another example is this. If you desire to know the truth about life and death first you pray through Christ to the FATHER admitting your ignorance and acknowledging GODS power ask for GOD to teach you about this , 1 John 2:27 , and no human ministry is required or needed. The Apostles and Jesus many times quoted old covenant scriptures in connection with the new covenant thus showing the wisdom and proper understanding as well as their fulfillment.
All the truth you receive from this process is what you use to build on your spiritual foundation of the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles. I compare this to a spiritual chain composed of unbreakable links; lies and deception are very weak link and will break showing the need to replace these links. We must never assume a truth or invent one to support a personal theory. Conjecture and speculation is not truth. However this practice has crept into all the false churches. Failure to seek GODS guidance and diligently search will lead to weak links, and false doctrines . I have only given a few examples of how to properly divide the word of truth but all truth is arrived at by this process. Once you have built on the foundation with these accumulated truths it will expand your knowledge and ability to add more truth with accuracy and more rapidly. You will grow.
Now the world is not given the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD. Therefore, Isaiah 28:11,12,13 applies because the world is without GOD, Christ and GODS spirit, they are cut off from GOD in the world with no hope. Ephesians 2:11,12,13
Our part in this is to in faith believe what is revealed to us after we have tried the spirits to confirm they are from GOD. We also devote ourselves to studying, meditation and prayer. The truth is not conveniently written in outline form, it is scattered from Genesis to Revelation and we must diligently ask, seek and knock and the door will be opened.
It is here a little and there a little and we take these littles and combine them to have a whole. For this we give GOD all the glory along with HIS son . The works of the law produced no fruit but this working in the spirit bears fruit unto GOD . In spiritual reality we are GODS work and are inspired by HIM to do all the things described in this article to find the truth. Worldly, unconverted carnal people do not have these blessings and this is why all their churches are deceived . The elect of GOD have all these blessings and then it becomes impossible to deceive them.
