2012 禁食日记 – 第十一天:“懂很多” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 11: “Know a lot”

 

 

第十一天(17/08/12)

我们阅读神的话、追求属灵知识、参加各样特会等等,主要的目的是什么?
倘若真的是为了更认识主、更学习主的榜样、要更亲近主,那就很好,那我们也应该会越来越像主,活出他的样式。。。

但事实是,很多时候,我们“学多”了,属灵知识增加了,读了圣经“很多”遍了,就觉得比别人懂更多,也更会批判及论断别人。这跟神的话的教导根本就背道而驰。。。

追求更认识神和追求属灵知识是两件不同的事。。。

“。。。我们晓得我们都有知识。但知识是叫人自高自大,唯有爱心能造就人。若有人以为自己知道什么,按他所当知道的,他仍是不知道。”
~ 林前 8:1-2 ~

 

Day 11 (17/08/12)

What is our main purpose for reading God’s Word, pursuing spiritual knowledge, joining all kinds of conferences etc?
If it is really for knowing the Lord more, to learn from Him more, to draw closer to God, then that will be very good, then we should be becoming more and more like the Lord, and really live out His likeness…

However the truth is, many times after we have “learnt a lot”, and after our spiritual knowledge has increased, or read the Bible “many” times, we tend to feel we know a lot better than others, and we would criticize and judge others more. This totally defies the teaching of God’s Word…

Pursuing to know God more and pursuing spiritual knowledge are two different things…

“… We know that we all possess knowledge.Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.”
~ 1 Corinthians 8:1-2 ~
