SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE

Ignorant of law is not excuse they said, when I newly start driving, parking time was extended during Ramadan season in the Emirate country of Dubai without my knowledge, I got fine even though I was ignorant of that time extension.

Someone has said that, What you don’t know won’t hurt you. We all know that it’s incorrect and yet it seems that many people have adopted that philosophy toward spiritual matters. Nothing could be further from the truth!

When it comes to spiritual ignorance, we can rest assured that it can destroy us. Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Spiritual ignorance is a very serious matter.

Read: Eph. 4:17-19, In this passage Paul is speaking of people who are without Christ. He said that they were “alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them.

Too often we equate ignorance with one who is simple-minded or backward. But some of the most talented people in the world, some of the greatest minds in science, are spiritually ignorant.

That is a greater deficiency that someone who may be intellectually slow. People who do not have a personal relationship with Christ are not the only ones who are spiritually ignorant!

Unfortunately, it is also true of those who claim to be Christians. Ever ask yourself, how can a Christian behave this way or that way? Often it is because they choose to be ignorant of God’s Word.

Of all the choices they can make, to choose to be ignorant of God’s principles will result in a Christian life that is stunted in its growth, The Bible says that many are willingly ignorant of the Word of God.

He has revealed Himself and His will in and through His Word, but many are simply refuse to accept and receive it. Ignorance of the word of God makes a Christian get along with certain sinful habits that ruin our relationship with God into apostasy. The Bible says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
