Subject: must be theologians? |
Bible Note: Radioman Lovely and well put. I agree that whatever understanding and knowledge that we glean must be put into practice. I hope you will indulge me as I share some more of my thoughts. (please take no offense, I promise there is none intended) The Spirit that dwells in us will bring of to the full knowledge of God's Awesome love and divine grace. Rom 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Eph 3:14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. I do believe that understanding His love and then practically applying it by the power of Him dwelling with in us makes all things one in Him. Agreeing that we must be diligent in retaining what we have learned in scriptures, my assertion is that we must be careful to walk in it. Head knowledge has it's place no doubt, but I agree with many posters that it is the Loving relationship between the Father and His child that causes growth and maturity. And mind you this is only my opinion and belief, it is not to be taken in any other way. -Kathy |
