A Knowledge of the Word Needed

FAMILIARITY with Biblical texts and history is of that worth and importance that admits of no discount. But the understanding of the doctrine of those texts and the lessons of the history recorded is the one prime end to be served. It simply means that one may be familiar with the former, with little or no understanding of the latter. But the doctrine of the text and the lesson of the history are not to be apprehended without familiarity with the text and history. To know God's will and to serve Him acceptably means familiarity with and a student of His Word.—Cumberland Presbyterian Banner.
