Q10: How does the “ocean analogy” apply to studying the Bible?
A: The surface of the ocean represents the “letter” of the Word—visible and understandable at a glance. However, the true life, depth, and beauty lie beneath the surface, representing the “spirit” of the Word, which requires deep diving to discover.
Q11: What do the “deep things of God” refer to in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10?
A: It refers to the profound, hidden truths of Scripture that cannot be comprehended by human intellect alone, but are revealed spiritually through the Holy Spirit to those who diligently seek them.
Q12: What does Proverbs 2:3-4 teach about how we should approach scripture?
A: It teaches that we must seek wisdom and understanding with the same desperate, deliberate effort as someone searching for hidden silver or buried treasure, rather than speed-reading the text.
Q13: Were the people who assisted Paul in his ministry Jewish or Gentile?
A: They were entirely Jewish. They were descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which was a necessity because Jews would not have accepted Gentile ministers.
