Pride & Fear is what is truly ugly...and is what drives the dividing wedge between brothers....
Q: Did any of us come to a complete and perfect knowledge of God and The Son of God and their generation before we were saved, and before we were indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God?
Or did it not matter one bit to God...He saved us in our ignorance and in our sin.... We did not have to understand or work it out beforehand. We did not have to go to school to learn all the correct doctrines before God came to live in us....
Salvation does not come because we have it all figured out. It comes by Faith in Christ. It is God's gift to us, not something we have to work for, before He gives it.
