Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things

How ironic that some would have us believe our dedication to God is ignorance. On the contrary, the true believers are tested to not follow blindly, but are constantly questioning and seeking—they do not have a sure knowledge. We walk by faith with trust and hope. Contrast that with the self-assured who would deceive us and have us believe our path is folly. It is they, ironically, who are closed minded in their beliefs and lifestyles for they question not and seek not. It is the disciples of Christ who grow line upon line, from precept to precept, who rely daily on God’s goodness and mercy, who grow from grace to grace who are open minded and seeking for the truth daily, trusting that God will reveal. It is, ironically, our uncertainties that remind us that we are keeping an open mind and constantly seeking to add to the truth, light, and knowledge we have already received.
