God has made HIS Word user-friendly; for believers, HE streamlined the complexity of this complicated instrument. God’s Word is full of wisdom, a treasure trove of profound insights and timeless knowledge. A literary masterpiece that answers the questions that we have, as we contemplate on the essence of existence, human nature, and the complexities of this world.
HIS Word is a source of inspiration, enlightenment, and personal growth. It provides its readers with valuable lessons and perspectives that can be applied to every aspect of life, leaving a lasting impact.
It is not uncommon for people to keep valuable knowledge to themselves, from the smallest tips, to life-changing benefits. They are hoarders of information for their personal gain, a selfish nature individual, who pursues his or her own desires. (Proverbs 18:1) Describes them as those who isolate and quarrels against every sound principle of conduct. This is the inherent selfishness within the human nature.
However, when it comes to the ultimate treasures of heaven, God’s Word teaches us a different approach, the power of sharing. True wisdom lies in sharing the knowledge of heaven with others; giving them the experience of its transformative power. (Matthew 5:14-16) Teaches us that we are called to be the light of the world, shinning our good works and glorifying God that others may see and be drawn to HIM. Instruction given to a wise man, he will be still wiser.
(Matthew 13:44) Tells of the great value that is in the Kingdom of God, and that it is worth sacrificing everything, to gain its hidden treasures.
By embracing humility and correction, we open ourselves up to growth and transformation. In a world where selfishness often prevails, we are reminded of the importance of selfless revelation. As the secrets of heaven are meant to be shared, let us strive to be vessels of Divine Knowledge, guiding others towards the ultimate treasure in God that awaits them.
