Subject: Knowing Him |
Bible Note: "There are many who regard an increasing acquaintance with the text of the Bible, as an evidence of growth in grace. "Ask yourselves the solemn question. In proportion as you store your minds with biblical texts and biblical ideas -- are you all the while seeking to have your heart filled with biblical feelings, and your life with biblical actions? "As you grow in acquaintance with the character of God -- do you reverence Him more? As your ideas brighten on the pe"rson of Christ -- do you love Him more? As you become more acquainted with the perfection and spirituality of God's Word--do you delight in it more? As you see more clearly the evil of sin--do you hate it with a more intense hatred? "As your Biblical knowledge widens, do you become ,,, more profoundly humble, more tenderly conscientious, more gentle, more spiritual? "Unless this is the case, you are in a fatal mistake by supposing that you are making progress in the divine life, merely because you are advancing in biblical knowledge." --John Angell James (1853) |
