We are commanded to grow in grace and in knowledge. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. As we live our daily lives and the experience that we go through we are to apply Bible doctrine to those experiences. If we don’t know the doctrine and haven’t stored it in our frame of reference it is impossible to use it. Jesus expects us to live by it the same as he did. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. As far as the love goes you are making it sound like it is antithetical. Your post, “knowledge of God's word or love for others?” The knowledge of God’s Word alone with the controlling of the Holy Spirit, i.e. Not under the dictates of the old sin nature, will produce love for others which is evidence of the fruit of the Spirit in our everyday lives and circumstances. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. This might not be the answer you were looking for but it is the way I see it. CDBJ |

Thank you CDBJ. I did not intend for anyone to think that God's Word and love are antithetical! I find it interesting that you inferred that. Your post did make me think however... Is it possible to have knowledge of God's Word and not have love? |

Greetings beva; My synopsis came about and was exacerbated because of your word, “which”, and you followed later by, “or”. Didn’t that mean I was supposed to choose between the two topics you selected thus placing them in an antithetical position. Am I not seeing what you posted? “Which is more of a sign of Christian maturity; knowledge of God's word or love for others?” I don’t see knowledge of God’s Word and love for others as being antithetical. That is why I posted them as congruent in my post. If I missed something that you were trying to expatiate on please continue I might catch next time. CDBJ |

Beva and CDBJ, Hold on Nelly, Let me get this straight Beva, when my Dad used to ask me when I was a teenager, “Which do you want to do, go to the beach or to a movie,” I really could have done both? Ah shoot. |

Greetings johnbakas, and welcome to the forum. Whenever I come across a new name on the forum I like to click on the author’s name that is listed. I appreciate reading their personal profile, which I hope they filled out. I thoroughly enjoy the personal testimony of those who have come to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It absolutely blows my mind how the grace of God has worked in so many different lives of the ones who have been called into His family. I especially appreciated you testimony and just praise the Lord for the overwhelming grace that is evident in so many different lives. Someday when we arrive home and look around at the multitudes of those present it will be amazing to see all the diversity of those in attendance yet we will know that we all got there the same way. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Have a nice day, CDBJ |
