Ephesians 3:17-19 English Standard Version
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
I will routinely receive software upgrades to my computer and phone. They are compatible with the system I am running and make it run better and safer. The upgrades are sent by the authors of those systems.
Hebrews 1:2 English Standard Version (ESV) but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Our creator has been appointed heir to the Kingdom and as such sends us software upgrades to improve performance and security. It is His system and He is the only authorized software dealer.
Like any system operator we must click on the link to install the updates. Just like my PC or phone, I might be using it at the time and want to put off the upgrades until I find a convenient time.
Considering that His timing is always perfect, putting off software upgrades might not be in our best interest. He does all things with purpose and that purpose will always be to improve our performance and security.
Do not neglect our personal studies. Yes we can learn much in group studies but it is those personal studies of His Word that our heart conditions are upgraded and performance is improved.
Taking care of ourselves is what makes us helpful to others.
