The old adage “what you don’t know won’t hurt you” is one of the most deceptive philosophies anyone can follow. It is rarely true in the secular world and never true concerning spiritual matters. We are not to be “children of darkness” stumbling around in the world without direction and unaware of the workings of God. Such a one would be susceptible to any lie Satan could throw at them.
A caution from God I read recently stated, “Heb 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. Heb 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)” Certainly the children of Israel were affected by their ignorance of God’s ways. We are as well.
The Word of God is an inexhaustible resource of truth. Often I refer to it as the complete truth of the universe because its principles and precepts are universal. It is not difficult to discern if someone lives in darkness or light. We may measure this by observing how they apply the Word to living. Simply put, walking after the flesh is death and darkness, walking after the Spirit is life and light. If you, Beloved, need convincing, just observe the direction the world is going.
