Have you Missed the Understanding?

‘Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.' (Ephesians 1:15-23)

'This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having THE UNDERSTANDING darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.' (Ephesians 4:17-19)

'And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us AN UNDERSTANDING, that we may know him that is true, and we are in that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life,' (1 John 5:20)

What understanding did Paul and John discuss that we need enlightened by? Even the testimony of God's Son, Jesus Christ.

'If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.' (1 John 5:9)

Ask God for wisdom in THE UNDERSTANDING! He will surely answer in the witness which He hath testified of His Son.
