Report from Faisalabad: Growth in Biblical Understanding
President Shahid Saleem of Jehovah Saints Pakistan reports an inspiring gathering in Faisalabad, where theologians and leaders deepened their knowledge of God’s Word. Reverend David from New York visited and shared valuable insights on how to conduct proper exegesis of the Bible. His teaching emphasized the importance of understanding Scripture in its historical, cultural, and spiritual context.
The gathering was enriched further as theologians from Faisalabad also participated, contributing their wisdom and perspectives. Together, the group explored how to faithfully interpret and teach the Word of God, ensuring that the message of Scripture remains pure and transformative.
This meeting was a powerful example of iron sharpening iron, as described in Proverbs 27:17:"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
Key Lessons from the Gathering
The Importance of Proper Exegesis Reverend David emphasized that exegesis is essential for understanding the Bible accurately. By studying the original context and meaning of Scripture, we ensure that we rightly divide the Word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
Learning from One Another The theologians from Faisalabad brought their own insights, creating an atmosphere of mutual learning. This collaboration reflects the biblical principle of humility and unity in the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13: "So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
The Power of Fellowship The gathering demonstrated the strength that comes from believers coming together to study God’s Word. It was a reminder that spiritual growth often happens in community.
Hebrews 10:24-25: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
The gathering in Faisalabad was a testament to the global and local body of Christ working together to grow in faith and understanding. President Shahid Saleem expressed gratitude for Reverend David’s visit and for the contributions of the Faisalabad theologians. This meeting not only deepened their understanding of Scripture but also strengthened their commitment to faithfully teaching and living out God’s Word.
Let us remember the words of Psalm 119:105:"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
May gatherings like this continue to illuminate the path for believers in Pakistan and around the world.
