"Real" Understanding
Jonathon Edwards via Desiring God:
It's all about humility.
If you think about it, the only real understanding a Christian can have, is that we will never full understand.
I am convinced that there are many things in religion and the Scriptures that are made difficult on purpose to try men, and to exercise their faith and scrutiny, and to hinder the proud and self-sufficient.Simply put - we are not SUPPOSED to understand everything. If you think about it - that is original sin - trying to understand. Remember, "the apple" is the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
It's all about humility.
If you think about it, the only real understanding a Christian can have, is that we will never full understand.
