Lesson 489: The Right Answers
The Bible answers the questions that matter most, according to God’s priority & perfect wisdom.
2 Pet.1:3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.
God has made many things clear in His Word. Other truths are concealed like Easter eggs in the grass that even young children can discover if they will look.
Still more truth is there for mature believers to find after searching for years. But some truth will always be known only to God.
Rom.11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
Prov.25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.
Deut.29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
