There are a couple of reasons a person can not understand the Bible, the majority of people who do not understand the Bible are not saved. Some people, even Bible Scholars may think they understand the Bible, but unless they are saved they are just telling you lies. The Holy Spirit teaches us how to understand the Bible and unless we are saved we do not have the Holy Spirit in us to help us discern what it actually means.

The other reason is, no spiritual guidance or direction, in order to understand God's Word we also need a spiritual leader, a Bible believing church or a teacher helping us along with the Holy Spirit.

The Bible is used to teach doctrine, to censure and correct us from evil, and to teach righteousness. It will help you live right and equip you to live a life lead by God. Some words may be hard to explain, but once you begin reading you will begin to understand what the words actually mean.

You can not read the Bible once and expect to know everything there is to know, God knows that we can only comprehend so much at one time so He designed the book to teach us slowly, each time we read a verse we learn something new, no matter how many times we read it.

One thing you need to realize is the although God has given us a guide to be able to handle every situation we face, there are some things that we will never know until we meet God face to face.

When you begin reading just ask God to help you understand the message, you will be surprised at how much you will understand just by taking the time to read it with God there with you.

Scriptures Helping With Understanding The Bible:
"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?" -Mark 4:11-13

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." -I Corinthians 2:12-13

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." - Hebrews11:3
