Something most people don’t know about me is that I don’t know how to swim. My Daddy had a fear of water and didn’t know how to swim so he always had me avoid swimming. So when I did end up in the water, be it a swimming pool or a large body of water, I would always stay in the shallow waters. This means that I am no help to myself or anybody else in the water. I could actually be a liability and a danger.
When learning the Word of God we should not stay in the shallow end. We will always start there, but we can’t stay there. If we always stay in the shallow end we can become a liability and danger to others. We can mislead someone in the Word because of our lack of knowledge.
Instead we should desire to get into the deep things of God. Once we have learned, we should desire to learn more. We should always be digging into the Word for wisdom, understanding, direction, to know God more. This way we can not only help ourselves, but others as well.
So we must go on from the first lessons that we learned about Christ. We must learn more as Christians. Then we will understand everything that we should understand. We should not need to learn again about those first things. We already know that the beginning was important. We turned away from doing wrong things then. Those wrong things lead to death, but we believed God (Hebrews 6:1 Easy English).
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
