Just Speak What We Know

John 3:11 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

This is such a famous passage of the Bible, and no wonder; it is packed with blessings easy to gather.

But some people have difficulty even with these things. Nicodemus, though a ruler of the Jews, couldn't grasp the difference between that which was of the flesh and that which is of the Spirit. And though his case might have been exceptional enough to warrant inclusion in the eternal Word of God, there are still plenty of things in the Word of God that baffle us today. What are we to do with them?

First, the Bible tells us to study the Word of God.
The benefits of time in the book are nearly too numerous to tell. Every Christian should not only try but insist upon their flesh to learn the Word.

Second, we must bring ourselves to the assembly of the saints in the church.
God's design in the church is that those who have been equipped equip the believers in the church.

Finally, even after all of that there will be much we do not know.
But don't let that stop you. Just speak what you do know. Whatever God has given you in your time alone with him and in your faithful time in the church is plenty to tell others. You don't have to make up things; you don't have to guess. If you haven't got the answer, that's all right. Just tell them what you do know. And as you do that, and continue in study and faithful church assembly, you'll know more and more to tell.
