THE PRINCIPLES OF KNOWLEDGE & LOVE (8:1-3)
Three things about knowledge & love:
1) knowledge can easily lead to big heads, but love leads to big hearts!
Jer. 9:23-24
2) knowledge can easily deceive us from reality; love lives out the reality.
3) intimacy with God is better than a theology of God.
THE PREEMINENCE OF OUR GOD (8:4-6)
Psalm 115:3-8
Isaiah 44:6
THE PRACTICE OF LOVE IN MY LIBERTY (8:7-13)
How do I know if a believer is "weak"?
1) New believer is a weak believer...just starting to grow up.
2) Immature believer is a weak believer...refuses to grow up.
3) Legalistic believer is a weak believer...afraid to grow up.
Romans 14:13
