Quotes About Knowledge

It is from the Bible that we obtain knowledge that is necessary for salvation. It is from the Bible that we come to know the message about Jesus Christ, that we need to be saved from sin and hell, and how we can be saved through him:

Romans 1 informs us that an innate knowledge of God has been placed in the mind of man, and it is from this that we derive a concept of what is good.

Paul also tell us that sin distorts the knowledge of God in our minds, which explains the lack of agreement in defining good and evil.

Knowledge about God is the most valuable treasure, and everything else is "dung" in comparison (Philippians 3:8, KJV). In offering his chosen ones reliable information about himself, God is giving them one of the greatest gifts that he can give anyone.

Man needs Scripture to give him the necessary premises to truly know and to correctly reason about God and reality. The foundation of Christian sanctification consists of knowing the propositions in the Bible, and reasoning correctly with them.

No one is wise, and no one has true knowledge without first having the fear of the Lord.

Know that there is good, and that there is evil. These two are not the same, and God does not want us to confuse them.

For such to occur, we must be knowledgeable with the word of God.

Christians are often ridiculed by friends or coworkers when they seem to lack knowledge or experience in secular and sinful activities.

to study theology is to know God, and to know God is the highest purpose of man, theology possesses the highest intrinsic value. As Jeremiah 9:23-24 says:

Christianity is the only true worldview, and it alone makes knowledge possible. All other systems of thought collapse into skepticism, but since skepticism is self-contradictory, one cannot remain in such a position, and Christianity is the only way out of the epistemological abyss.

God has made a point of preventing non-Christians from knowing him through their own wisdom.

Since to love God means to obey biblical teaching, and to obey biblical teaching, one must first know about it, it follows that theological knowledge is the prerequisite of walking in love. This destroys the anti-intellectual notion that a person can love God without studying theology, or that loving God is superior to knowing about him.

God has always been absolutely and exhaustively sovereign whether or not you knew about it.

The fact that God has chosen to speak to us through the Bible means that human language is sufficient, and so it is possible to obtain reliable and detailed information about God from his verbal revelation.

The Bible teaches that God has revealed himself through the words of Scripture. Nothing more is needed to settle the issue. It establishes that God is knowable and that human language is sufficient. God is able to tell us about himself, and we are able to understand what he tells us.

The Bible leaves no room for anti-intellectualism, and offers no excuse for withholding agreement or obedience.

the holy Scriptures…are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15).

the Bible is necessary for knowledge leading to salvation, instructions leading to spiritual growth, answers to the ultimate questions, and for knowledge about reality. It is the necessary precondition for all knowledge and for any rational apprehension of God and the universe.

The Bible, or Scripture, is the ultimate authority and first principle of the Christian system, and it is the source of our knowledge about God and the things of God. Therefore, it is appropriate to begin the study of theology by considering the attributes of Scripture.

The Bible contains all that is necessary to construct a complete worldview, a true view of reality.

Everything that we need to know as Christians is found in the Bible.

Theological knowledge, or intellectual knowledge about God, is one of the most despised spiritual gifts. It is often regarded as unholy and unspiritual. However, Jesus says that to be God's friend means to have knowledge about him, about his being, his principles, and his plans and works.
