I don't like being wrong. I am of the principle that I am always right. Of course it's not true. I have been wrong. I am often committing 'huge' sins. Sometimes I hate finding out facts or asking questions because I might just find out that I was wrong. Again.
Christian and knowledge seem like words that were created to be together. Just think about it. Shouldn't a Christian be thirsty and craving to know more about YHWH and Christ? His creation and his people? Should a Christian not be anxious to know in order to spread the love of God? Yet we remain to be the most ignorant religion on earth. Or maybe close enough. I am not standing on a pedestal preaching down sulphur and brimstone. I am kneeling before the throne of God my Father in repentance.
Ignorance is bliss! If you didn't know that killing is wrong then you would stab a random stranger. Hahaha... Not. You would be eating your dinner behind bars. You see we cannot avoid consequence even if we refuse to know. The Prophet Hosea 4:6, God says '..my people perish from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as..' Ignorance is no defence because we all know that if we wanted to know we would know.
I am not writing this because I know more than you do or because I am holier than anyone. God is a witness of my imperfections. I am seeking knowledge because I don't want to perish. I don't want to be full of regrets when the end comes. I want and need to seek God with all my heart (Jeremiah 29:13)
I am taking this journey to gain knowledge and unshakable faith in Christ Jesus. I am afraid quite a bit because I am making myself vulnerable to too many things. But this is a search by faith. Without faith it's impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6). I hate being wrong but I often err. But one thing I'm sure that I'm right about is this. God loves you and me more than anything.
Prayer
God of mercy and glory, open my eyes, my mind and my heart. Let me hear your voice. May I understand whatever you will teach me. Deliver me from every evil and lead me to life everlasting.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
