Some persons think they can know God
by means of their own human reason. But reason is a blind ally
spiritually. It has always been the great minds exercising their powers
apart from the Word of God who have produced the great heresies. Some
think they can discover God by listening to a so-called 'inner voice.' But the
voice is often nothing more than an expression of their own inner
desires. Quite a few think that spiritual truths can be verified by
supernatural events or miracles. But the Bible everywhere teaches that
even miracles will not lead men and women to understand and receive God's truth
unless they themselves are illuminated by the Bible (see Luke 16:31). I
believe that we can state categorically that there is no knowledge apart from
Jesus Christ and that there is no knowledge of Jesus Christ apart from a
knowledge of the Bible.
