The knowledge dressed up
for the service of the love
Often I hear that some believer disapprove of
knowledge, but this matter is not so simple, that knowledge can throw to trash
can. Knowledge makes a person to be proud if knowledge remains for the
theoretical head knowledge. In other words, if knowledge remains to be
knowledge, which functions only as the knowledge of the head, but not landing
to heart of believer.
However, believer needs knowledge about God
and about the word of God, because otherwise he doesn't know how to serve his
God. As the purpose of the knowledge is by faith to be mixed to the heart of
the believer, in which knowledge dressed up to the love of God by the Holy
Spirit and its grace effect. As the purpose of the knowledge is, that word of
God and the Holy Spirit by way of co agency start to change believer to the
similarity of image of God. Remember! From the man doesn't come God, but like
the image of God.
The Holy Spirit task is
affecting love in the heart of believer, towards God and His word, as towards
all people. There is much fleshy activity in current Christianity, which show
up head knowledge . This kind of head knowledge makes believer very proud and
arrogant.
Real right knowledge about the word of God lead always believers life to the
internal change processes, in which believer is yoked about the fruit of the
Spirit, which is; love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
meekness, self-control.
Mortify therefore your members
which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection,
evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which
things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also
put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out
of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the
old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed
in knowledge after the image of him that created him
Col 3:5-10.
And the hope does not put us to
shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the
Holy Spirit given to us, Romans 5:5.
If someone supposes that he knows something,
he doesn't still know, such as comes to know. This means that if knowledge has
been remained only to the level of the head, but not be landed on the heart,
so this person don't however know anything. I take from the living life of the
example . If a wife would urge her husband to clean and to wash the dishes at
home, even though a man would know how must clean and wash the dishes, but
don't do cleaning and dishes, but boast about it how right "doctrine" comes to
wash the dishes and to clean the house, so he doesn't however know anything
about cleaning and dishes. Purpose from knowledge of the word of God is meant
to function in practise and not to remain to be theory between two ears.
Increasing of the knowledge brings naturally
also pain and distress to people life. However, is also knowledge, every bring
pleasure to the heart of the person and largest cause of delight to the heart
of the person is indeed good news in other words gospel from Jesus Christ.
There also existing the grief according to God works at repentance to
salvation.
Book of Ecclesiastes comes to an end to
the lovely final conclusion, concerned like this " Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this applies to
every man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with all that is
hidden, whether it is good, or whether it is evil. " Commands of God are not
to me harsh prohibition orders about that what I can't do. Commands of God
create security to my heart, because in His command are healthy instructions
to life of the man. Bible is indeed between a man and God being the hand and
relationship -, learning and manual. If person functions against the word of
God he goes unavoidable sooner or later broken. The sin is so violent way
bound and hardened people, that only few people notices sin's terrible
devastation effect. Therefore, let choose love of God and His truth that we
will get to enjoy from the just and good bounty of God.
Petri Paavola
