What is the Bible's teaching on interpretation, and how can we accurately understand its meaning?

The Bible teaches that there is only one correct interpretation of any passage, which is the Bible's own interpretation (2 Peter 1:20). To arrive at this accurate understanding, we must apply the laws of hermeneutics—rules of systematic study. Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation, an exact science that ensures the same interpretation in every age and place when its rules are followed. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in illumination (John 16:13), making the written Word clear and applicable to individual believers' needs. However, only by being filled with the Spirit can we approach the Word with the right attitude and gain understanding. Interpretation is not about personal opinion or subjective interpretation but about discovering the intended meaning of Scripture through disciplined study. As Peter emphasizes in 2 Peter 1:20, there may be many applications of a scriptural truth, but there is only one correct interpretation. By following the rules of hermeneutics and being led by the Spirit, we can accurately understand the Bible's teaching on any given passage.
