We have knowledge of Jesus, and often think that is enough; we study and know of Him and think this is the pinnacle of righteousness, but it isn’t. We think that by our understanding we can find the fullness of God but we are mistaken. Loving God and Jesus Christ surpasses all else, and our knowledge, and the other things, are only meant to help increase our ability to love them more. Loving, and being loved by Jesus; this is the way we can experience the fullness of God.

Perhaps you say that you once believed in Jesus Christ, but not any longer, or you say that you are a Christian and yet there is no outward flourishing to indicate that this is true. In both cases, what is the problem with your faith, what stifled it and kept I from prospering? You are like a plant, but without a healthy root it can’t continue to grow, and will eventually die.
