March 14, 2018 - 2 Peter 1:5-8
We are continuing our
talks about Growth in Christian Virtue and in our verse today tell us how to
stack our virtues. But first let’s go to verse 8 to understand why we need to
invest our time applying diligence to God and building our virtue. God tells us
that we will be useless and unproductive in regard to THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE and
GREATER UNDERSTANDING of our Lord Jesus Christ. God leaves us an area to read
between the lines here. If there is “The True Knowledge” then God is cluing us
in here that there are some knowledge’s, which are not as precise, nor correct,
as other knowledge’s. Knowledge can be as simple as: information, facts, data,
awareness, understanding and comprehension. Or it can be split up into
categories, such as Basic Education does with Math, English, Science, History
and Social Studies. I have a question for you: Is Biblical Knowledge the same
as wisdom? Through God's words we gain an understanding that God is the one who
gives the gift of knowledge- that is an understanding or awareness of
something. The Lord however, grants wisdom to those who have an honest relationship
with him. Proverbs 2:6 tells us “For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come
knowledge and understanding”.
