1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him (1 Corinthians 8:1-3).
Knowledge of truth is of God. But knowledge for its’ own sake can be misleading. It can be misleading as it can lead people to think too highly of their own intellect and therefore rely on their own understanding. In this case, knowledge can be prideful. But God desires our knowledge to lead to love, first and foremost to the love God. It is in this relationship, founded on love, that we are known by God and in turn know Him.
