We may never know for certain if our interpretation is absolutely correct.

That is why we

must first ask God for guidance while we seek to uncover the Truth in His Word. Yet as we are

fallen we will still fail at times to interpret Scripture correctly. In order to know if our

interpretation is correct, we must know the historical background, cultural context, and the

geography of the land. In addition, we should consult others who have sought to interpret the text

as well because just as the Gospels approached the life of Jesus from different perspectives; we

too come to the Text with different perspectives. Also, having a grasp on one of the original

languages such as Greek, Hebrew, or Latin is a tool one should use to find one if not a few

interpretations of a Bible verse.
