A new word for an old truth

Understanding and inner-standing

What we were handed.Much of what we believe was given to us by people we love and trust. That is a gift, and a good place to begin.
What we come to know.Inner-standing is truth known from within: recognized by the Spirit in us, not only received from someone else.
Under God alone.Every teacher, however wise, is a signpost. The road leads past them to Him.
Not against learning.Scripture honors understanding. The word only reminds us where true understanding comes from.

A truth becomes ours when it is known within. “The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you” (1 John 2:27).
