This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The last type of literature that we see in the

01:18

Bible that we want to address when interpreting scripture is called instructional. It is the easiest to interpret.

01:25

And if you are new to scripture or interpreting scripture, this is where you want to focus most of your time.

01:32

The books that we see that are epistles, letters, Romans all the way through Jude, these are going to be the easiest to interpret.

01:41

Why? Because these are doctrinal in nature. They're instructional. These are meant to be taken as instruction and meant to be taken literally and not looking for hidden meanings in things.

01:54

It is not meant to be historical as much as it is instructional. And so this is the type of literature that we are going to focus in on when we want to understand doctrine.

02:05

By the way, this is going to be a type of literature that you will see cult groups avoid the most.

02:11

Why? Because it's easy to understand, it's instructional to understand, and therefore it condemns much of what they end up believing.

02:19

Like when they say that Jesus Christ is not God, and you have Paul very clearly in Colossians teaching, not only is he

02:26

God, but he created everything. Everything's held together by his nature. So he holds everything together.

02:33

He is the firstborn, not in the sense of birth, but in the sense that he's preeminent.

02:39

And so you end up seeing that when we look at this style of literature, it is going to be the easiest to interpret and is the one that you should focus on when you start looking at interpretation because it will teach you principles to obey.
