Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom and instruction, and understanding (Proverbs 23:23).
All you have of Truth is what you understand of it – and what you understand you always demonstrate. It naturally follows from this that the only way to improve yourself and your conditions is to gain an increase in understanding. And the only way to gain an increase in understanding is to make practical use of the Truth you already know. Knowledge that you do not actually use is only intellectual knowledge and is barren, and even that fades out in time through lack of use.
You will never demonstrate or progress on mere theories that you have not put to the test. You will never demonstrate or grow spiritually on what is in a t extbook or a lecture until you have begun to put such knowledge into practice. It is far better to have a thimbleful of spiritual knowledge and use it than to have a whole mountain of correct spiritual doctrine most of which you have never made work.
To have truth, we must seek it. To have understanding, we must apply truth in our lives. To demonstrate God’s power in our lives, we must practice it. Seek, apply, practice; then repeat.
If we are to live in the Garden God gave us, we must follow the instructions in the operating manual (the Bible) that he sent to us . When we do follow these instructions, we will know the truth, we will understand it and we will be empowered to live in the Eden God gave to us here and FOREVER with God in heaven.
