Bible Note: Greetings Makarios! Knowing Christ differs from knowing God in Romans 1:21; Mt 25:24. Mt 25:25 "see what You have is Yours." Is it? Did the slave recognize God's ownership of him? Imo, if he had, he would have honored the Master with what had been given to him. Might the measure of faith (Rom 12:3) that God gives to each of us be a "talent"? God has given man an awareness of Himself and a measure of faith to respond to this awareness. People can know God and still be apostate. This is different from knowing Christ - belief, faith in His finished work; responding to God's love in Christ with the measure of faith that God has given. Comments? Blessings, mommapbs |
