Do You Read Or Do You Study The Bible
The difference is in your soul.
Luke 11:9
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
There is more than a story in the bible there are very important teachings, but they will not be apparent to somebody that does not want more from God,you only get what you want,and if you want more you have to ask for more, but God does not give things for free , he has to see your anguish for more and then he will give you more insight so you can see better and understand what Jesus meant.
A lot of the teachings of Christ are meant to be difficult, like an obstacle, which only the ones that really want to know will be given the understanding, here is where this story applies
“Mark 2:1-5
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
They did not accept an obstacle and found a way to bring the paralyzed man to Jesus.
That is what faith is, that is what is needed to uncover the rest of the teachings of Christ in the bible.
But if deep inside you in your soul you do not want more, then nothing is going to happen because the motivation starts inside then you start to act, so if there is no motivation then there is nothing.
