Text:2 peter 1:5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge
knowledge in our Opening verse is the Greek word, “gnosis,” which is scientific knowledge; knowledge based on science or intellectual activity. God wants you to have, not only revelation knowledge, but also knowledge about life and natural things of arts and science. He wants you to be versatile and open to knowledge. He wants you to be well informed.
This doesn’t mean having a penchant for worldly information; rather, it means improving yourself, acquiring the right information that’ll build your personality. Most importantly, He wants you to build your knowledge of His Word. Anyone who ignores knowledge is setting up himself for the hard life.
Text: Hosea 4:6
says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
