让我们多花一天的时间来继续研读这个题目──人要与神建立关系和明白圣经，否则不能完整地察看自己的生命。所有认识圣经和明白圣经的人，都会因为要作出正确和合理的结论，而从圣经那里得到所需要的事实。

所以，应当使你自己沉浸在圣经里面。要知道人类本性原是堕落，除了神的恩典和能力以外，人不能活出自己的理想。再者，灵比物质更有能力，除非灵在掌管，否则我们就会被肉体的欲望所驱使。如果有人说人类已经变得越来越好，罪和邪恶只不过是人类「成长的痛楚」，你认为事实是这样吗？圣经能够告诉你真相，并且只有圣经才能够给你正确的答案。圣经告诉我们邪恶是甚么呢？圣经说邪恶是人性的一部分，永远不能拔出来，除非透过神的能力和恩典。

所以，我们当好好研究圣经，不仅仅是阅读经文，也要牢记经文、默想经文。当你再次感到沮丧或困惑的时候，不妨问问自己：实际情况究竟如何呢？然后走入圣经里面去，从圣经的话去找出自己的观点。我们很多情绪问题的根源都是因为缺乏清晰的思考，是以圣经为基础的清晰思考。我们只要能够学像神那样去思考，就会有好像神那样的感受。因为你不是自己所想像的那个人，而是你的想法会使你变成那样的人。

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.
