Things That We Don’t Have To Learn…

Many things in the Bible including getting saved are our responsibility to learn and do. Getting saved is so very important and yet we are left to make sure that we get it from the Bible ourselves or from someone else. There are some things though that God just gives us. I am not talking about the world we live on and all of its amenities, but rather these that are to follow.
So many are struggling to learn wisdom and often learn wisdom that is not from God. Wisdom makes us look important but only God’s wisdom is important. James says in chapter 1 Verse 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. More time asking and less time searching will help us end up with God’s wisdom and less of our own and the world’s wisdom.

This parable is not about who is saved but who is fruitful. Discussing who is saved here is a waste of time and keeps us from the intent, which is to be fruitful.
Matt 13: 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Please note the words becometh unfruitful in verse 22. These people were fruitful first and then became unfruitful. The fruit of a Christian is another Christian and the fruit of the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit in us, therefore don’t confuse bearing fruit with the Holy Spirit bearing fruit in us if we are willing.
What other things does the Bible say that God will give us if we ask? Study and then send me a comment.
