讓我們多花一天的時間來繼續研讀這個題目──人要與神建立關係和明白聖經，否則不能完整地察看自己的生命。所有認識聖經和明白聖經的人，都會因為要作出正確和合理的結論，而從聖經那裡得到所需要的事實。

所以，應當使你自己沉浸在聖經裡面。要知道人類本性原是墮落，除了神的恩典和能力以外，人不能活出自己的理想。再者，靈比物質更有能力，除非靈在掌管，否則我們就會被肉體的慾望所驅使。如果有人說人類已經變得越來越好，罪和邪惡只不過是人類「成長的痛楚」，你認為事實是這樣嗎？聖經能夠告訴你真相，並且只有聖經才能夠給你正確的答案。聖經告訴我們邪惡是甚麼呢？聖經說邪惡是人性的一部分，永遠不能拔出來，除非透過神的能力和恩典。

所以，我們當好好研究聖經，不僅僅是閱讀經文，也要牢記經文、默想經文。當你再次感到沮喪或困惑的時候，不妨問問自己：實際情況究竟如何呢？然後走入聖經裡面去，從聖經的話去找出自己的觀點。我們很多情緒問題的根源都是因為缺乏清晰的思考，是以聖經為基礎的清晰思考。我們只要能夠學像神那樣去思考，就會有好像神那樣的感受。因為你不是自己所想像的那個人，而是你的想法會使你變成那樣的人。

We spend one more day considering the proposition that apart from a relationship with God and an understanding of the Scriptures, we are unable to see life as a whole. The man or woman who knows and understands the Bible will be acquainted with the facts he or she needs to have in order to come to right and sound conclusions.

So immerse yourself in the Scriptures. Understand that human nature is corrupt and that apart from the grace and power of God men and women are unable to live up to their ideals. Realise that the spiritual is more powerful than the material, and unless the spirit is in control we will be driven by carnal desires. When people say humanity is getting better and that sin and evil are just the "growing pains" of the human race - what are the facts? You get them from the Scriptures and only from the Scriptures. What does the Bible tell us about evil? It says it is part of the human condition and can never be rooted out except through the power and the grace of God.

So study the facts of Scripture. Read them, memorise them, and meditate upon them. When next you feel dispirited because you cannot make sense of something, ask yourself: What are the facts? Dig into the Scriptures and draw your perspective from what the Bible says. The root of many of our emotional problems lies in a lack of clear thinking - clear thinking based on Scripture. Think as God thinks about issues and you will feel as God feels about them. For you are not what you think you are, but what you think you are.
