1．神が永遠であること
We must always remember that all time is present time with God. There is no past and future with God: all that is past and future with us has been present with God always. At any moment in what is time to us, eternity is present with God.
Everything in the Bible, while it has a present application, has a fuller meaning in the future.
2．キリストの包括性私たちは、まず主イエスを知り、そしてその後、彼を聖書の中につれ戻すのです。彼が聖書の解釈です。それゆえ、私たちが主イエスを知るまでは、聖書を本当には理解することはできません。結論はこうなります－聖書は本当はお方であり、本ではない。聖書は生きたお方であって、死んだ文字ではありません。このお方が尽きることがないゆえに、彼が聖書を尽きることのないものとするのです。
3．聖書の解釈者は聖霊
Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men. (1Cor.2:13)
That scripture is a very important statement, and it definitely affirms the principle that we are now setting forth - the interpreter of the Bible is the Holy Spirit. First of all then, the Bible is the Holy Spirit's Book. The Bible is not firstly man's Book, it is not our Book, we have not got the Book. We have got certain writings which are called Scripture, but in truth we do not possess the Book.
THE BIBLE IS A CLOSED BOOK TO ALL BUT SPIRITUAL MEN. Our measure of understanding of the Bible will be just in accordance with the measure of our spiritual life. This is why the Lord takes us through experiences in order to bring us to understanding. The measure of our death to the natural mind will be the measure of our understanding of the things of the Spirit.
4．すべてについての最後の言及にはその意味がすべて書いてある
例：いのちの木について
5．真の価値を持つのは霊的なものである
Spiritual value is just how much something increases the measure of Christ. If Christ is the interpretation of the Bible, then the spiritual knowledge of the Bible results in an increase of Christ. And it contributes to the ultimate purpose of God. The question always is "How much of Life is there in it?"
from Chapter 1 of the same book by Austin Sparks
