It does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have.
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
We should always be learning. However, we must be careful not to set aside our faith in the process, because faith actually enhances our ability to learn.
I had been raised in the church, but I wasn't a Christian. I had a lot of head knowledge but no heart knowledge.
It's impossible to be a good Christian. If you think it's easy to be a good Christian, then you're not really trying hard enough.
There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.
It is the easiest thing in the world to become a Christian - ten thousand times easier than it is to hold out unrepenting against the motives which God presents to the mind, to induce it to forsake its evil thoughts and turn unto Him.
To be a Christian means you become a part of the most significant story the world has ever heard. You don't become part of that without an ongoing questioning of what it means to become part of that.
I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.
Being a Christian has not and does not come naturally or easy for me. I take that to be a good thing because I am sure that to be a Christian requires training that lasts a lifetime.
