Everything we need comes through the Knowledge of Him

“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Peter 1:3 NIV)

A man of knowledge enhances his might

“A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might…” (Prov. 24:5 ESV)

God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.” (Hosea 4:6-7 ESV)

Therefore…

“The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.” (Prov. 15:14 ESV)

“Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.” (Psalm 199:66 ESV)
