Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
God is capable of reading hearts and has recorded things in scripture that were said in the hearts of men. This should not surprise us, rather what should surprise us is how often that is so. If the Father looks on the hearts of men, we would expect Christ to have done the same, and indeed that is so. The New Testament writers also did the same. Perhaps it is something that today's ecclesia might also take into consideration? When God tells us something, could it be that we have an evil heart of unbelief that limits our understanding? How much of the Bible we read is simply not believed, with the result that substantive change does not occur as it should?

Ephesians 1:13-14 NLT
And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the good news that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He (God) identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago.
The spirit is God's guarantee that He will give us the inheritance He promised and that He has purchased us to be His own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify Him.
