What do we know?

 Isaiah 40: 21-23 

 

The Bible askes us some question. 

Isaiah 40: 1 

Have ye not known?  (Known what?) 

Have ye not heard?     (Heard what?) 

Hath it not been told you from the beginning? 

Have ye not understood from the foundation of the word?                  (Told what? Understood what?) 

 

The book of Psalm doesn’t ask but tells us. 

Psalm 44:1 

We have heard with our ears!     (Heard what?) 

Our Fathers have told us!            (Told us what?) 

 

The Apostle Paul Explains Some of this from Mars Hill in Acts. 

Acts 17:24 

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; verse 25, Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needs any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Verse 30, And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now cammandeth all men every where to repent: 

 

This is what we have known and heard and have been told and understand. 

 

Romans 10:9, 10 

  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  verse 10, for with the heart man beleiveth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
