What Do You Know?

No man knows everything but every man knows something. Those that think they know everything know nothing but those that realize how little they know,  they know quite a lot. With that in mind let’s compare two verses.

Jeremiah 4:22  "For My people are foolish, They know Me not; They are stupid children And have no understanding. They are shrewd to do evil, But to do good they do not know."

Romans 16:19  For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

In each verse, we have people lacking in knowledge. But one group is praised, the other is condemned. Why? Because of what they know. Knowing a lot about evil things isn’t a good thing! But not know about God is true ignorance. It’s better to know something about God than everything about the world.
