Blessings in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
Matthew 13:11-13 AMP
Jesus replied to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. [12] For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is RECEPTIVE TO GOD'S WORD], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has DEVALUED GOD'S WORD], even what he has will be taken away from him. [13] This is the reason I speak to the crowds in parables: because while [having the power of] seeing they do not see, and while [having the power of] hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand and grasp [spiritual things].
Believer’s, those who do not study the Word of God and attend church regularly to be enlightened, walk in WILLFUL IGNORANCE.
Willfully rejecting knowledge that God wants us to have is sinful ignorance. While unintentional ignorance about earthly topics is understandable, intentional ignorance about spiritual matters can lead to eternal destruction. (Romans 1:18–19)
For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth, [19] because that which is known about God is evident within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them.
