THE
GLORY OF GOD
The ULTIMATE END OF ALL LEARNING
by Paris Murray II
Why
add to your learning?
Your
worship can go no deeper than your understanding. After
all, how can you praise what you do not know? By contrast,
the more and more you learn about God, the more and more
reasons you have to love and praise Him! This is the heart
behind addtoyourlearning.com
Consider
this pivotal declaration of Jesus:
But
when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into
all truth... He will bring glory to me by taking from what
is mine and making it known to you. John 16:13-14
As
Jesus promised, the Spirit of Truth guided key first-century
Christians to record the revelation of God. This extraordinary
Spirit-led guidance is known as inspiration, and the resulting
writings, the New Testament. Taken together with God’s
previous revelation—the Old Testament—mankind
was given and now has the complete revelation of God and
therefore all truth.
Today,
it is vital for Christians to remember that the Spirit continues
to guide us into all truth. How? By empowering us to understand
the Word of God. This modern-day role of the Spirit is known
as illumination.
Why
add to your learning?
Because
if you desire to know God deeply, you must know God’s
Word deeply. Along the way, something amazing takes place.
The more you learn about the message of Christ, the more
Christ is glorified; the more God is made known to you,
the more glory He is given. That, perhaps, is the highest
motivation for studying the Bible—for yourself or with
a friend or family member. Adding to your learning should
not be regarded as optional, but rather essential to the
life of a faithful Christian. On behalf of the MMCC teaching
ministry, happy learning and to God be the glory!
