Proverbs 14:6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands.
I do marvel at how much some scientists, philosophers and other studious people can find out; but they still search for the truth in vain.
The simplicity of the Gospel can be understood by everyone who openly seeks the truth; I say openly because many studious people will shut off hearing about the Gospel because they assume it too simple.
We too can miss the point if we over-simplify things so sitting down and doing a bit of background study is always valuable for us.
Don’t close God out of your life; invite Him in to talk!
