1 John 5:20.
NKJV. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
CLV. Yet we are aware that the Son of God is arriving, and has given us a comprehension, that we know the True One, and we are in the True One, in His Son, Jesus Christ. This One is the true God and life eonian.
To be given “an understanding”; Greek dianoia: “a way to understand” means that The Logos,
the Son of God is the lens through which we view life and rightly comprehend His intent.
He has “given us insight”, a clear heart vision to reflect our minds upon and know “the true God and eternal life”.
To have inspired comprehension. (This is the Daystar.)
As in the NKJV here and most other translations, dianoia is often translated as understanding
and even other times as mind.
Comprehension is the best English word to capture its meaning.
This is what is meant when the Lord instructed:
Mark 12:30. ‘Love the Lord with all of your comprehension’ .
To love the Lord with all your comprehension requires sanctification from all worldly influences.
Paul refers to “the eye of your comprehension being enlightened”, and then refers to those who are alienated from the life of God as having their way of comprehension darkened resulting in
“blindness of their hearts”. Ephesians 1:18, 4:18.
Jesus said:
Matthew 6:23. If the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
This follows from Jesus warning his disciples to avoid the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy. Luke 12:1. The traditional teachings of the Pharisees was the very thing that Paul had to renounce from his education to walk in the Spirit.
Colossians 2:8. Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world rather than according to Christ.
Acts 26:18. To open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan unto God that they may receive remission of sin and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.
