There are a lot of know-it-alls in this world, and Christians are just as likely to fall into this category as anyone else; maybe even more! When we read Paul's letter to the church in Corinth we get the impression that it had more that its fair share.
So, what did the Apostle have to say about it? '...while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church. 'The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God' (1 Corinthians 8:1-3 NIV).
That's wisdom! One of the important lessons we can draw out of this is that growing up spiritually is not about knowing more stuff but showing more love.
Nothing could make God love you more than He does right now
Nothing could make God love you more than He does right now: not greater achievement, greater beauty, greater recognition; not even greater spirituality. And nothing could make Him love you less: not your problems, your bad habits, your screw ups or just being you!
The irony is, we spend our lives trying to earn a love that we can only received by faith when we realise and admit that there's an emptiness within us only God can fill. And He will. But the truth is, learning to live in the love of God is the challenge of a lifetime.
Many of us grow up with parents who don't show their love to teach us when we've been bad or they're angry. And we think God does that too. But He doesn't. 'How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are' (1 John 3:1 NIV).
C S Lewis wrote: 'God did not make us because He was bored, lonely, or had run out of things to do. He created us to be the objects of His love! Sometimes our actions make us unlovely, but we are never unloved
