I pray that your participation in the faith may become effective through knowing every good thing that is in us for the glory of Christ.
Philemon 1:6, HCSB
We join God in the work of salvation as we grow in knowledge of His goodness and work and lead others to know Christ.
And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, so that you may approve the things that are superior and may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ
Philippians 1:9-10, CSB
We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and that includes helping each other as the Chirch grow in love through the knowledge of God and His Word and discerning His movements in the world to point others to Christ.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7, ESV
God showed His love through Jesus, and if we deny His love and redemptive work then we are still under His wrath. Only a food rejects Christ.
For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
Hebrews 6:16, ESV
God has called us beyond the basic teachings of the gospel, and this includes knowing that God is the greatest of all. No one and nothing is beyond Him, and He has sworn by Himself that He will fulfill His promises in grace and truth. We would do well to learn as much as we can about those promises.
And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:11-12, ESV
We are called to go beyond the initial teachings of the gospel, but we are called to remain faithful to those teachings, growing in love, grace, and truth and hoping in the promises of God.
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Hebrews 6:1-2
We are called as followers and disciples of Christ to learn more of God and His Word, to love others in this world with the love and grace of God that He first did with us.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Proverbs 9:10, ESV
To understand ourselves and our world, we need to know our Creator. Seek Him and read His Word, The Bible.
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ
Philippians 1:9-10, ESV
God grants us His mercy to seek Him, and His grace that we may find Him and love Him.
Seek God. Grow in His love and wisdom, knowing Him more and what He desires for our lives in Christ.
and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.”
Matthew 27:63-64, ESV
We like to think we can outsmart God, even when we know the truth, but God is beyond our ways and understanding.
His plans cannot be stopped. It’s better to join Him.
And they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Matthew 21:27, LSB
We like to think we have great understanding, but if we deny the clear evidence or meaning of Scripture, Christ won’t bend to our understandings. We must conform to His truth.
