Did you ever have the fear of opening the Bible because if you read something you couldn’t follow, then you were damned? Sort of an “ignorance is bliss” type of life. I did. Before I understood the finished work of Christ. What freedom!

Before I understood the finished work of Christ. What freedom! Actually no. The thought of reading the Bible never occurred to me before I got saved because I was taught that I would never be able to understand it. Only the priests and maybe nuns could do that so we had to let them do it and tell us what it said and meant.
Freedom is it all right.
