(1 Tim 1:5-7 NKJV) Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, {6} from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, {7} desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
God’s Word will keep us close to Him and teach us how to love, how to have a pure heart, and His Word will teach us how to have sincere faith. His very Words are what help us each day and if we start to thinking we have learned it all, we can get into a lot of trouble.
Some teachers think they are doing God’s will, but haven’t the slightest idea of what they are saying or doing to people. People are getting hurt from the lack of knowledge, and the deceit and lies of teachers that THINK they know it all, using God’s name to clear themselves in doing what they think is of God.
This is not of Christ; this is man-made RELIGION… the very spirit that was in the Pharisees and Sadducees, who didn’t even recognize Christ when they saw HIM.
Stay close to God; let Him teach us His ways, for they will keep us straight!! Remain humble and always learning. Never allow ourselves to get to that point where we think we know it all.
God is faithful to teach us as we remain teachable.
