The bible makes it clear

Proverbs 22:20-21 (KJV) states,
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
As with so many parts of the bible, those words appear to hold dual meanings. On one hand, those are the words of Solomon to all who seek spiritual wisdom.

But on the other hand, those are the words of God, spoken direct to us. He's making clear that the words of the bible are there for our "counsels and knowledge," that we might know the "certainty of the words of truth," and that we might "answer the words of truth" to others.

So as we read, study, and pray the bible, never lose sight of the fact that the bible makes God's will clear through the plainness of clarity of written form.
