The popular belief is that knowledge and faith cannot coexist. It is felt that the more you know, the less faith you will need. This notion, however, is built upon an incorrect foundation. Knowledge must be based upon truth, not popular opinion or speculation.
The truth is that God does exist. He created all things. He sustains all things. He possesses all knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, the better that I know Him, the stronger my faith will become, because I will continually see His work in me and in the world.
II Timothy 1:12 says, “But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.” Real knowledge is truth. God is the Truth.
