Love & Knowledge

1 Timothy 1:5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.
***
Acquired knowledge, with all of its benefits, also conveys pride. In contrast to the cosmic library, our encyclopedic minds are relatively small. Mine is certainly small.
***
1 Corinthians 8:1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge.[a] Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3But the man who loves God is known by God.
***
Love should be the backbone and spine connected to the mind. Then we would feel, will and stand strong in the knowledge of God's love.
