Bible Note: Greetings Mark - God's desire is for us to come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:4) He also desires truth in our inner being (Ps 51:6) which I understand as direction to self examination,what do I believe, even wrong things - what are my motives, do I desire God or what I want of Him, etc. Ps 37:4 promises that when we "delight in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart." HIS desires (for us to know the truth, about me and about Him etc) will become OUR desires. So I see a strong connection between our devotion to Christ and knowledge of the truth ("The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom AND knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" also comes to mind.) Apostacy might be the expected result of a life that was complacent toward one's relationship with the Lord. I do think that folks can be sincere in their professed devotion to the Lord, but be sincerely wrong in their knowledge of the truth. I'll process this for a bit. Blessings, mommmapbs PS:I also believe that apostacy can also be the result of false shepherding. |
