Learning the Truths of the Will of God

The ideal congregation responds positively when encouraged to better learn the truths of the will of God, the body of divinely revealed knowledge that is essential for our personal salvation. Our spiritual screen must ever allow the fresh gentle breeze of God’s Word to penetrate deeply into the whole of our spiritual house. Our spiritual screen must also be strong enough to prevent pests of error from entering our personal and congregational fellowship (Ephesians 5:11). To be such a people, let us view ourselves as students truly in need of a greater measure of knowledge of the Word of God. Let us be committed to growing beyond spiritual infancy (Ephesians 4:15), accompanying such commitment with decisive action. Let us plan well and readily implement our plan as we seek success in spiritual growth. May we open our minds anew to the wonders of the Word of God. May we hunger and thirst after righteousness more so than we ever have in the past (Matthew 5:6). Growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord is worthy of our best efforts (2 Peter 3:18)!
