“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know…” Because we do not know one thing does not mean we are left in the dark about another. The disciples did not know the time of the establishment of the Kingdom, but they knew they were to be empowered by the Spirit. To not be certain of the one doesn’t release us from obeying the other.
We are obligated and responsible to do those things we know are right to do (James 4:17). There are superficial, professing Christians today who believe that because they do not understand one thing, they are justified in copping out of doing the revealed thing. To not understand foreordination does not excuse fornication.
“It is not the things in the Bible I don’t understand that bother me, but those that I do.” (Mark Twain)
