John 13:17 -
"If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them."
Question- What good is it to know something if you are not doing anything with what you know? Knowledge is pointless without doing. Just knowing something for knowledge sake just bloats our egos and gives us a sense of self-righteousness. But if we take what we know and put it to use in serving others or being proactive in our spirituality, knowledge becomes a source of power to change who we are.
Knowledge of truth (meaning Christ, God, Scripture) is a source of amazing power. But this knowledge cannot change our own lives unless we let it impact our heart. If it stays in our mind it again will only cause us to boast in ourselves. If we allow it to impact and mold our heart we will be able to do great things in Christ and only boast in the Cross. It is at this point, when knowledge hits our heart, that living in Obedience occurs. Then you can live up to the amazing spiritual potential God has for you.
I love the words the Owald Chambers uses:
"Beware of paying attention or going back to what you once were, when God wants you to be something that you have never been." -My utmost for His Highest
So let the knowledge of an amazing God who is full of Grace for you everyday, humble your heart so that you may become obedient to His word and become more than you thought possible for His name's sake.
