NO REGERETS PART 3- KNOWLEDGE AND TRUTH

Wisdom,
Understanding ,
Knowledge
These are not concepts found only in the Bible but are at the root of all questions about our existence. The body of work on these subjects could not be contained any where except in the mind of God The Creator. All the books , songs , poems and computors combined can only make an attempt on this!
John 21:25 "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. "

Because of our finite understanding of an infinite God we must Live, teach and study(and blog) with great care , so that our explanations are not limited by our perspectives.

Jesus gives this warning.... John 7:16 Jesus answered "My teaching is not my own.
It comes from him who sent me.
17. If anyone chooses to do Gods will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
18. He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him."
...(there's that image managment /confession thing again)
or as Warren Wiersbe quotes A. W. TOZER

"Everywhere among Conservatives we find persons who are
Bible-taught but not Spirit-taught. They conceive
truth to be something which they can grasp with the mind.
If a man holds to the fundementals of the Christian faith he is thought to posses divine truth. But it does not follow. There is no truth apart from the Spirit"
(think pharisee and experts on the Law)

Wiersbe goes on to say "Learn all You can from every good source , but let God , not man be your teacher"
John14:26 But the counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. he will not speak on his own ; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
verses 14-15 reinforce and explain further.

So we can say It is impossible to know Gods will and obey it without the truth that comes from the Father through the Spirit.
we know that all scipture is God breathed or inspired by the Holy Spirit..2 timothy 3.16
I will go on to say that to reject authority of scripture is to reject truth and Gods Spirit
...never a good idea!

We also know that we all possess knowledge, Knowledge puffs up but love builds up (1 Cor.1-3)
The man who thinks he knows something does not know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.

John 4:24 God is spirit,and his worshipers must
worship in spirit and in truth.

So how do we do this?
to Quote Chuck Swindoll "Knowledge apart fom application falls short of Gods will for our lives"

We study Gods word to make us wiser, gain insight,understanding (psalm 119:99-104) as we obey its instruction for our lives...
JUST DO IT!
NO REGRETS !
I KNOW WHAT YOU MAY BE THINKING TOO PREACHYY

Me too but not for the apostle Paul who writes;

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (1 cor1:18-2:16)
God chose foolish things of the world to shame the wise...
so that no one may boast before him..
so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on Gods power...
.for who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?" Isiah 40:13

"let no flesh Glory in his prescence"
All glory belongs to, God not to man

proverbs 2;6
For the lord gives wisdom
and from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding.
