In today’s world, science and education have brought great advancements.
Technology to pass information across the whole world,science and medical breakthrough that enables lives to be saved ,and very outstanding historical research that teaches us about the past.
But despite all this knowledge, many learned or educated people remain ignorant of the Bible.
Why? Because many scholars try to understand everything—including God—only through human wisdom and scientific methods. They trust research and data more than faith and revelation. Some even question or deny the existence of God simply because it doesn't fit within their scientific view.
The Bible gives us a clear answer in Isaiah 29:11–12. It says that God’s word is like a sealed book—even when it is handed to a scholar, he cannot read it, not because he can't read words, but because he lacks spiritual understanding. Likewise, the unlearned may feel too unqualified to even try.
“And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed…” – Isaiah 29:11–12 (KJV)
This shows us that true understanding of the Bible doesn't come from education alone, but from humility and the help of God’s Spirit. Both the educated and uneducated can miss the truth if they rely only on themselves.
So let us not be proud in our knowledge, but be humble enough to seek God. Spiritual things require spiritual understanding—and that comes from faith, not just books or degrees.
May the peace of the lord be with us all....Amen
