Are we approaching our faith through study and hard work to further perfect ourselves each day? Every evening during our nightly prayers do we kneel before God and tell Him of our academic progress? If this is so, and it is all we do, He will speak words similar to these back to us...”Yes, but when I walked in the garden where were you?” or, “As I love you, do you love me?” God wants our journey towards perfection to be more than memorizing scripture, or blind obedience. He wants the true manifestation of our studies to be a loving relationship with Him. Our academic perfection is not His ultimate goal for us.
