2 Corinthians 11:3 How is your heart?

Good morning everyone!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent."
The Corinthians' pure and simple devotion to Christ was being threatened by false teaching. Paul did not want the believers to lose their single-minded love for Christ. Keeping Christ first in your life can be very difficult when you have so many distractions threatening to sidetrack your faith. Just as Eve lost her focus by listening to the serpent, you, too, can lose your focus by letting your life become overcrowded and confused.

If we don't have the knowledge of God we are ill equiped for the fight. Do a self eval and see where you would rank, a 1 or as good as a 10? Do you know the Holy One? Many times we become so involved in doing "work" at the church, at home, that we lose the intimacy we need with our LORD and Saviour.

Spiritual passion that exceeds Biblical knowledge is a dangerous thing. We sharpen steel with steel; therefore, we should sharpen our knowledge and wisdom of God with other Christians and being passionately in love with Christ while studying the word.

Head knowledge without a heart for God is the work of a fool. Be passionate for knowledge AND for GOD! Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
