The Bible emphasizes that true knowledge comes from a relationship with Christ, not just understanding doctrines.
The Scriptures highlight that the knowledge of Christ transcends mere intellectual comprehension of doctrines. As seen in John 17:3, eternal life is defined as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ. This relationship is dynamic and transformative, illustrating that orthodoxy without a personal connection to Christ can lead one astray. Therefore, knowing Christ is of utmost importance in the life of a believer, as it is through Him that we gain genuine wisdom and truth.
