How do those who don’t know themselves live?
They live hypocritical lives trying to hide their sinful selves.
Sometimes we come to encounter such people who really don’t know themselves. Socrates said, “Know yourself.” However, most of us do not know what is inherently in our hearts: murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, pride...etc. (Mark 7 21-23, Romans 5:12)
There are so many in this world who do not know their true natures. God already knows what is within each our hearts and the true sinfulness of our human nature however many have deceived themselves and end up living their lives completely wrapped up in their own deceptions. They do not understand that they are throwing themselves into hell because of their self–deceptions. They refuse to admit the truth to God and be saved by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit that Jesus gave us. (Matthew 3:15, John 19:30)
People act sinfully until their dying days. This is why, to be redeemed, we have to believe that Jesus was baptized to take away all our sins and crucified to atone them. But to be redeemed, we need to know ourselves first.
Please read this very important bible study and if you accept what is written and confess your new faith to God believing in the baptism and blood of Jesus, you will be saved from all your sins and born again of water and the Spirit!
