The best explanation (understanding) I can help you to have about the Holy Bible as I have been helped by the Holy Spirit is that the Bible is a Person: the Holy Bible is a Person. And like it is true for a human being, it is also true for the Holy Bible.

In the same way, it is impossible to accept some parts of your body to be dear to you while other parts are irrelevant or unacceptable to you, the same way you can't believe that some parts of the Bible are true while other parts do not make meaning or are inconsequential. Every Word of God that was ever spoken came forth to perform the Will of God among men.

For instance, Deuteronomy chapter 6 verse 4 says, “Hear, O Israel [all nations and tongues]: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!” As this is believed and true to you, likewise John chapter 3 verse 16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." is also true.

No part of the Holy Bible is true while other parts are not. If you ever believe or accept a dot in the Holy Bible to be true and valid, friend, every other part is. In the same way, if one verse is not believed or accepted by you, should you think so, then the entirety of the Holy Bible is not.

The Bible says, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart," according to Hebrews chapter 4 verses 12. The same Bible talking about the "Word of GOD" says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was at the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”

If a particular verse does not make sense or is not true, then none of the verses is true. If one verse is true then all is true.

This must be our attitude in relating with the Bible (spoken Word of God) if we truly want to profit from the Word of GOD. The Book of John says, "God is Spirit", the same God who spoke in verse 1 of Genesis chapter 1, is the same God that authored the last verse of the Bible (Revelation 22:21).

The personality of the Word of GOD is the person of Christ Jesus. You can't accept the head, neck, fingers, plus the legs of Jesus to be true, while the same you are saying, “You don't think the eyes, nose, ear, mouth, stomach, and hands of Jesus Christ are true.” Of course, you can't say, 'I know or believe that Jesus has two legs, head, neck, but I am not sure He has eyes, ears, hands and the rest". That will be equal to inconsistency with the Word of GOD. Whatever GOD says is valid just like the others are valid. In the same way, you don’t doubt His existence that is how you should not doubt any part of His Word.

The Word of GOD is living and powerful; always true and valid. And as a Father and also GOD, He leads all His children and sons, the elects, in every dispensation according to the riches of His Will, purpose, and wisdom. He is always true and leads His own in the way according to His truth and life.

Don't let anyone deceive you, and you should neither fall by the deception of self that though what the Lord GOD spoke forth in a particular verse is true for your consumption, the other ones are not true. As much as it is true that the Word acted in different dispensations does not mean there can be any verse that was mistakenly spoken. No, there is no one like that. What the Bible says a dispensation should do is true and valid in the same way the instruction for others a true.

This is how you can always profit from the Word of GOD by trusting the consistency of the Word of God; the Bible is not a shopping Centre, but The Word of GOD, A Person, Christ Jesus. Every part in Him, the Word, is true and valid, and yes and amen.
