Why Knowledge is not Enough

The Bible makes it clear that simply learning information will not result in lasting victory over lust. Consider these passages:

 

 

"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." 1 Corinthians 8:1

 

 

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." James 1:22 (New International Version)

 

 

"Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: ‘Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!' These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." Colossians 2:20-23 (New International Version)
