Goodness is that soul quality which allows us to respond when God speaks, to be obedient at a moment. Lord, I am ready. Ready, and receptive - that. s goodness. And as that attitude is cultivated, we become open to learning more of God. One very important thing to remember about knowledge as it is presented in scripture .
Truth is given in order to be obeyed.
Knowledge is handed over in order to be activated. When our hearts are awake and eager, ready and receptive, truth is given to us by the Spirit as He whispers to us the riches of the Word of God. And as we obediently live out those truths, we are granted further insights. The moment we stall in disobedience, however - the process stops. The well dries up, as it were.
