Under Gods Command
Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
Living “in the futility of their thinking” refers to the natural tendency of human beings to think their way away from God. Intellectual pride, rationalizations, and excuses all keep people from God. Don’t be surprised if people can’t grasp the gospel. The gospel will seem foolish to those who forsake faith and rely on their own understanding.
Lets bring it home: Are we surprised when people can’t grasp the gospel? Did we grasp the gospel right away, or were we one of these people at one time? Just remember that being a Christian is a process, but first you have to get your foot in the door to begin the training.
