Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

I think...we need to have a basis for understanding of Christianity and God, thus we need a Biblical understanding of what we believe in.

What is the Biblical understanding of Sin?
What is the Biblical understanding of the Gospel?
What is the Biblical understanding of the Cross and atonement?
What is the Biblical understanding of Grace?
What is the Biblical understanding of Faith?
What is the Biblical understanding of Hope?
What is the Biblical understanding of Joy?
What is the Biblical understanding of Love?
What is the Biblical understanding of Glory?
What is the Biblical understanding of who is God?

Majority of Christians don't get it. Even I struggle a lot. Because of my lack of clarity of these things, I complain and am struggling and am confused by what I believe in. Floundering. Flailing. Because I didn't have clarity, my Christian walk was hard. No guidance at all. No maturity at all.

Time to read the Bible with some new lenses. May the Holy Spirit open my eyes to the truth in the Word. Bah, now I have a renewed hunger for the Word.
