Knowledge and timber shouldn't be used until they are seasoned. -Oliver W. Holmes
1 Corinthians 13:11, When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
There are certain desires that tend to fade away the older most of us get. That doesn’t mean that we can overcome sin and save ourselves. What it does mean is exactly what I said, some desires fade away with age and they don’t have the power over us as they use to.
The only thing that gives true victory over sin is not a thing at all, it is the person Jesus Christ. It is by faith in His death, burial, and resurrection that we are set free! You can have a head knowledge of Him but if you don’t have saving faith, all that knowledge will not do you any good. Education, on the job training, and life experiences are good to have but they will only take you so far. Only getting saved will truly save your wretched soul from hell taking you all the way to Heaven!
