What Are You Doing About What You Know? - Peter M Butler - December 1974

Peter M Butler

Paul said to "study to show yourself approved unto God." He said the man of God must be "thoroughly furnished unto all good works." What did he mean? And, more important, what are you doing about it? IN WRITING his New Testament epistles, the Apostle Paul lost no opportunity to stress with vigor the urgent need for Christians to grow up in Christ. He urged that no true convert to Christianity remain a babe in Christ - merely a superficial believer. Forcefully, he emphasized the need for Christians to go beyond the simple principles of the doctrine of Christ, and to strive toward perfection (Heb. 5:13-14; 6:1). Paul was anxious that we should all "come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ" (Eph. 4:13). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
