Sonur minn, ef þú vilt taka við orðum mínum, og fel boðorð mín hjá þér; Svo að þú hneigir eyra þitt að visku, og beit hjarta þínu til skilnings; Já, ef þú grætur eftir þekkingu, og lýstu röddina til skilnings; Ef þú leitar hennar sem silfurs, og leita að henni eins og huldum fjársjóðum; Þá munt þú skilja ótta Drottins, og finndu þekkingu á Guði (Orðskviðir 2:1-5)
What do you have to do, if you want to find the knowledge of God and walk on the path of life? All you have to do is to:
- Taka á móti Orð hans
- Fela Boðorð hans
- Halla eyra þitt til visku
- Sækja um hjarta þitt til skilnings
- Gráta eftir þekkingu
- Lift up your voice for understanding
- Leita hana eins og silfur
- Leita for her as for hid treasures
- Þá þú skilja ótta Drottins
- Find þekkingu á Guði
Hear and receive His words
First of all you should listen to Him and receive the Words of God, and keep His words in you. When you keep His words and keep His commandments in your heart, then the Word; Jesus shall live in you. You shall be in Him, and He shall be in you.
Rétt eins og Jesús sagði: A.nd the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; að þeir geti verið eitt, jafnvel eins og við erum eitt: ég í þeim, og þú í mér, að þau verði fullkomin í einu; og að heimurinn megi vita að þú sendir mig, og hef elskað þá, as Thou hast loved Me (Jóh 17:22,23)
Hide His commandments in your heart
Þegar þú tekur undir orð hans, og geymdu þau í hjarta þínu, þá mun eyra þitt taka eftir visku.
Incline your ear unto wisdom
You shall incline your ear unto wisdom and therefore you shall become wise. Because faith comes by hearing, og heyrn með orði Guðs. Orðið mun lifa í hjarta þínu, og þess vegna, þú munt lifa og ganga í visku, og þekking.
Apply your heart to understanding
Þú munt öðlast skilning með því að heyra orð Guðs, and by speaking the Word of God.
Cry after knowledge and lift up your voice for understanding
You shall cry and lift up your voice to get knowledge and understanding. There must be a desire in your heart to spend time with God, og í orði hans. To study His Word, leitið og finnið allan sannleikann sem er skrifaður í Orðinu (Biblían).
Seek her like silver and search for her as hidden treasures
You should seek for the truths of God, like you would seek for silver. You should seek, as you would seek for hidden treasures. God has given you an inheritance, and you will only find out if you seek, and search in the word of God. Hann vill opinbera þessa hluti fyrir þér, í gegnum orð hans.
When you spend time in His Word, then you shall get to know Him, and get to know the truth of His will.
You shall understand the fear of the Lord
Then you shall understand the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Fear doesn’t mean to be afraid, but it means to be in awe of the Most High God.
You shall find knowledge of God
When you understand the fear of the Lord, then you shall find knowledge of God. You shall walk in the fear of the Lord and in the knowledge of His will. You shall walk on the path of the Lord; braut lífsins, sem mun leiða þig til eilífs lífs.
„Vertu salt jarðar’
