He is the Physician, and if He knows everything, there is no need for the patient to know. Calm down, you silly, fluttering heart, prying, peeping, and suspecting! What you don't know now, you will know later; and meanwhile Jesus, the beloved Physician, knows your soul in adversities. Why does the patient need to analyze all the medicine or estimate all the symptoms? This is the Physician's work, not mine; it is my business to trust, and His to prescribe. If He shall write His prescription in a fashion that I cannot read, I will not be uneasy on that account, but will rely upon His unfailing skill to make everything clear in the result, no matter how mysterious the process.
C.H. Spurgeon
As much insight and knowledge as God had given him, Reverend Spurgeon still felt he often didn't know so he must just trust. Good message there. Also, there are things he only learned/will learn on the other side - including God's full redemptive plan. :thumbsup:
Amen! It's enough.. and we're very blessed just to know it is a Full Salvation Plan..! What a great blessing..! To know He is all loving.. Loves all, and is all-able.. And we can trust and be sure that all He does is for the utter best.. And for the utter best reasons. His Goodness and character beyond our ability to imagine.. Utterly trustworthy. Though we barely grasp it, and at times even seems we doubt it.. But His grace is sufficient..

There is lot's of positive knowledge to be found in the scriptures and patristics and theology books. The quest for knowledge remains an important task for mankind.

It is to the Glory of God , the HOLY FATHER that the Light of Knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ be made known to all the world as a witness and testimony that THE LIGHT IS COME and the increase and Life of Christ be made known to all the world , that this amazing grace and truth be given day by day By the Word and Spirit to shine forth in the darkness , as a seed planted in the hearts of mankind to guild them to CHRIST , THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, that the inner man be manifested to glorify the ONE TRUE GOD forever and ever , amen! .... :HeartThrob:
Gal 3 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions,
until the seed should come, the seed is the incorruptible Word of God /tree of Life whom bears fruit to God as holy seeds of faith and
the leaves are for HEALING of the nations ]
to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels
in the hand of a mediator.20 Now a mediator is not of one:
but God is one.21 Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them
that believe.
23 But before the faith came,
we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.24 Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25
But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.[[a teacher, especially a strict or pedantic one.
synonyms: teacher, schoolteacher, schoolmaster, schoolmistress, master, mistress, tutor]
26
For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female.
For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham,
heirs according to the promise. It is all about being in the Body of the living Christ [Revelation 3 ;16] or still outside [Babylon ] or even rejected as spue you out ..
To the Church in Laodicea
...15I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other. 16So because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of My mouth! [ that would go from living waters and narrow path that leads to Life in my opinion , or the broad path that leads to destruction back into outer darkness and the fire of affliction/hurt ,as to being saved by fire but suffering loss ..
17You say, 'I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked....Babylons condition As stripped bare AND OPEN before the heavenly court for judgment .
Any thing we have was GODS grace given to us though our Lord Jesus Christ and not to be used unlawfully ... as unloving uncaring and hard hearted as a robber and thief of Gods glory , He will not give His glory to another
Isaiah 42 7
To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison. 8
"I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to idols / graven images. 9"Behold, the former things have come to pass,
Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you."... :HeartThrob:
