Yes and amen! When one is born again the Holy Spirit helps the believer understand Scripture. We may not understand clearly immediately as a new born in Christ but our Lord teaches His children and corrects them as we grow in maturity moving on from milk to meat. One of the great lessons is that Scripture will verify Scripture; that is, it will not contradict itself.

So many “Bible teachers” today appeal to the human case of feelings and emotions and in many cases self greed and preservation that lends to misunderstanding the true meaning of Scriptures…these are the ones who claim that all one needs to do is name a passage of Scripture and claim it and God will do for you as if He is a genie in heaven attending to your very desire. And then there are those who pick and choose which Scriptures are unimportant to them. For instance a pastor preaches on tithing and the response of the unknowing states “that is Old Testament and therefore does not apply” and they go further to state “Jesus never taught on tithing.” However they miss Matthew 23:23.

Verse by verse teaching that is expository is very important for the believer. Topical teaching generally misses so very much in that it lends itself many times to the personal objective of a teacher that appeals many times to the feelings, emotions, and felt needs of a hearer or for the motivated outcome for the presenter. Thus things like Critical Race Theory and Social Justice can be elevated in a congregation and such for instance by using topical teaching.
