Eph 3:3-4 – The Bible Needs No “Interpretation”

Most of the Bible needs no interpretation. Instead we can just read it and understand it the same way you would read and understand a letter from your Mother. You don’t have to interpret your Mom’s letters do you? We see this from Eph 3:3-4 which reads “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ).”

It is true that a few books (cases in point Revelation and Daniel) might need some interpretation because they are highly figurative / written in symbols (Rev 1:1), but almost all the New Testament books are not like that. They are personal letters such as we’ve already mentioned, or books of history. The main thing is not to let the so-called “spiritual elite” scare you away from studying the Bible for yourself. We can understand it as well and as easily as they can.
