In Bible study, it is important to draw our conclusions in a comprehensive rather than an exclusive manner. What I mean by that is that I must not isolate one statement to the exclusion of other relevant information that relates to the subject and can affect the conclusion.
That is the reason a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible is important. That is why we must keep reading and seeking truth. Often a text that addresses a specific matter on a particular subject does not present the full picture. It did not intend to! So, one statement often is not the final statement. We must keep listening to God.
This can be illustrated in one passage that speaks of our purification or salvation. So, what purifies our souls?
As we seek God’s salvation, let’s not exclude anything that He has included.
