Ignorance Begets Irreverence
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Psalms 119:33-34  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Perhaps above all others, this psalm makes multiple direct connections between the knowledge of God and obedience. We will grow more profoundly if we learn to study the Bible as if it were written for us individually. It is self-defeating for us to pick and choose favorite scriptures while leaving others entirely alone. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 8:3, saying we should live by every word of God. All of it reveals Him—and our nature as well. The more we know of Him and ourselves, the greater the chance of obedience. Ignorance begets irreverence that in turn begets disobedience. Truth believed begets reverence that in turn begets obedience. John W. Ritenbaugh Sovereignty and Its Fruit: Part Ten

Romans 5:14  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The offense committed in ignorance or in willful ignorance is just as abominable as one done with knowledge. David F. Maas Is All Fair in Love and War?
