This summer we're embarking on a study of how to study Scripture. Why is it often so difficult to understand, believe, and apply God's Word? Here's one reason in the words of one of our American fathers in the faith, Jonathan Edwards:
The devil never would attempt to beget in persons a regard to that divine word which God has given to be the great and standing rule.…Would the spirit of error, in order to deceive men, beget in them a high opinion of the infallible rule, and incline them to think much of it, and be very conversant with it?…The devil has ever shown a mortal spite and hatred towards that holy book the Bible: he has done all in his power to extinguish that light.…He is engaged against the Bible, and hated every word in it.
