EVER LEARNING, NEVER KNOWING
“Always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” -2 TIMOTHY 3:7
If
in our quest for spiritual growth our idea is only to learn a few facts
about the Bible, glean tidbits of information from this preacher and
that teacher, fill our brains with facts and fill our libraries with
more books and magazines, we run the risk of fooling ourselves into
thinking that we know and understand God – when it could be that we are
ever learning “truths” without knowing the Truth.
Have you met
someone like this? They seem to have all the right answers, but they
have the wrong spirit. They tenaciously cling to their minute opinions
and cannot be persuaded otherwise. Their knowledge has not changed them,
except to make them worse: for now they are puffed up in the vanity of
their own mind (1 Corinthians 8:1,2). True spiritual growth is
characterized by grace (not works) and an increased knowledge of Jesus
Christ (2 Peter 3:18). And, we maintain that this knowledge of Jesus
Christ cannot be obtained by study, but is only granted by way of
revelation.
