We know the bible isn't an ordinary book or just a regular story book. People often see bible as a story book, because the read stories of father Abraham and the rest, including the story of our lord Jesus Christ.
The bible isn't a story book, the bible is deeply more than what we think. The bible isn't just a holy book, it is a book that completely reflects who we are and what we are and even our status before God.
Sometimes I keep wondering how the world would have been without the the bible known as the word of God. So, because it is the word of God, You can't understand it just anyhow, you need the leading of the holy spirit to understand the scripture.
To this effect, the only way you can understand the word of God, is through the leading of the holy spirit.
