Many Christians approach the Bible like a spiritual first-aid kit, pulling out comforting verses without understanding their deeper context. This practice, called eisegesis, makes us read our own assumptions into Scripture rather than letting it speak for itself. When we examine Jeremiah 29:11 in its full context, we discover it wasn't a promise of quick relief but a declaration of God's faithfulness during a 70-year exile. The early church in Acts 15 demonstrates proper exegesis by carefully studying Scripture to understand God's will for new situations. Reading Scripture in context reveals God's promises aren't fragile or circumstantial, but steady and rooted in His eternal faithfulness across generations.
