“Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” (Philippians 3:16, NIV)
We are accountable to God only for what we know, not for what we don’t know.
If we thought only for 60 seconds of all that we’ve been “taught,” whether formally, or through life experience; first-hand, or through the experience of others: we should be amazed how much we already know.
All of us — to some degree — have attained knowledge of what is right, good, true, and edifying. We have attained knowledge of how good it feels to be treated with love and grace; and we have opportunities every day to live up to that knowledge — and the knowledge we’ve acquired beyond such basics.
Are you living up to the knowledge you’ve attained? – Luther
