"More Information"

For some reason there are those who think that God did not give us exhaustive instructions on life and living. (Goes against II Pet. 1:3.) Many believe there are things that God never spoke that we need to explore. I had a person who is extremely intelligent speak that to me the other day. I asked what they think God didn't go far enough in revealing to mankind and they had a list of things, the majority dealt with the human mind and worship. They were in pursuit of something they weren't sure what but they believed God had not revealed everything to us in His word. (It made me wonder how they were going to find whatever it was they were looking for when only God can reveal what belongs to Himself!)

I don't believe that. I sincerely believe God has given us every single thing we need to understand for man and how to apply the understanding properly. Paul revealed from the Lord that if we would present ourselves back, whole heartily to the Lord because of His mercies, there would begin a transformation of the mind and heart in the will of God, the things that are good, acceptable and perfect (Rom. 12:1-2). The Corinthian brethren were warned that Jews run about seeking for signs and the Gentiles, they pursue knowledge and wisdom and that was not what the Lord was wanting (I Cor. 1:22). The apostles preached Christ and Him crucified as the power and wisdom of God (I Cor. 1:24). Jesus prayed before His arrest and death that knowing God was eternal life (John 17:3). We have all we need and more! The problem is too many are listening and looking everywhere but where God placed His wisdom and power and that is in His Son and nowhere else (Col. 2:3). Coming to know and understand Jesus will fill that void.

To pursue things that aren't mentioned tells us we don't need to know. If we would come to know Jesus, present ourselves back to God and renew our minds from what He has revealed, our lives will take on power that is beyond us. Searching for more than revealed is an endless search with no answers. It keeps man occupied but never coming to truth. Paul spoke to Timothy there are those who are always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (II Tim. 3:7). We have all the information we need! We need to learn to submit and believe it without twists and turns from our own thinking!
