Thanks for the review, Mari. My old brain is getting more and more like Teflon. What goes in slides right back out! I agree that only by rightly dividing God’s Word can we truly understand the scriptures the way God meant us to.
What a terrible way to live, really heartbreaking. The fears that this young man experienced are probably one of the reasons people turn their backs on God. You can get saved without rightly dividing, but you can’t really find liberty in grace without it. Thanks, Jessica, for the reminder.
I see what you are saying, Becky. Strong’s concordance defines make here as “to shed rays, to shine, to brighten up, enlighten, illuminate.” That does seem to “make” the verse more understandable.
