We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
This does not mean we get new intellectual faculties of the mind. “Understanding” here signifies rather the widening powers of knowing into new dimensions. The horizon of language will be widened and lifted higher than before. It expands a limited two dimensional understanding into a 3rd and 4th dimension, Point of view becomes field of view. Truth is system of perspective!
ReplyDeleteWAY-TRUTH-LIFE is the tripod; man's relationship to man, GOD's relationship to man, and man's relationship to GOD. It begins with opening the mind up to God, our relationship to HIM and eternal universal TRUTHS! The entire bible speaks to one of the legs of this tripod. Bible is book of answers on relationship building.. Our job is to figure out the question. @larrygrowe
