Fathers intention for the Bible today

What is Father’s intention for us, seeing that we have been blessed with the Bible?

How many times have we bought something from the store which had to be put together, assembled, and we by passed the instruction manual? Then to find to our own frustration, those pieces were not being built up together correctly. Its then we turn to the instruction manual as it helps to correct our mistakes and sometimes to our own astonishment we were right about certain aspects of putting this things together and helped to confirm what we knew was right. Also we see just how we messed up and got it wrong.

For us we have the privilege of receiving an instruction manual. For just as we all have learned that there has been a progressive revelation of Gods name through out all generations. So to is this written instruction manual left for Gods Sons, to become part of the progressive revelation used of God as Paul wrote; 2Ti 3:14-16
"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

The instruction manual is only good if you understand the words used in the instructions. So off to the School of the Holy Spirit we go to learn this new Language for our old natural understanding cannot interpret these Spirit inspired words. It just cannot understand for this is a “Spirit” word, a “spirit” language not natural mind words nor natural mind language.

So in the School of the Holy Spirit we begin to learn; Isa 28:9-10
“Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. V:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:”

We are getting and learning parts, not everything yet, for these Parts, will be instrumental to the completion of His temple. For we have not yet come to the ending of the Book when He instructs us on all these parts, and how they will be pieced together. 1Co 13:9
“For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.”

But this is why we are in "son" training learning from our Father's instruction manual then putting into practice what we have learned. "The message and the meesanger becoming One" In the mean time it sure is nice to have an instruction manual, and a patient loving Father to help teach us.
