Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
In Hebrews 5:14 we are shown that spiritual maturity comes by actively using our senses to determine good and evil. That is not by our definition, rather God's. When we look at God's definitions of good and evil, understanding begins to come by looking through His eyes. We look at understanding that comes by applying that framework, and the scripture comes alive in ways we previously had not understood.

Hebrews 12:3-5 NKJV
For consider Him, who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
You have not yet resisted to bloodshed (torture or death), striving against sin.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD (Father), nor be discouraged when you are rebuked (corrected) by Him:
For whom the LORD (Father) loves He chastens (disciplines) and scourges every son He receives.
