We have also a more sure Word of prophecy; where
unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a Light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this
first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. 2 Peter, Chapter 1, verses 19-21.
The ability to interpret the Bible’s message doesn’t
belong to any one person or group, especially if they feel that they are the
only ones who know what God’s Will is.
It’s important for me to remember this because there are religious fads,
cults, trends and religious leaders who may suggest beliefs that sound good but
are really contrary to God’s Will, as stated in the Bible. It’s easier to interpret the Bible than many
lead you to believe. Trust the instincts
that God gives you and He will guide you as you read the Bible for yourself.
Because this is an example of how I’ve applied this Bible passage to my life, it doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the passage.
