This puts us all in a place of humility before God. We must search the Scriptures, we must study God’s Word, we must wait on God. But because we are still in the evil Age, when we have done our best, we are compelled to say, “Lord, I have searched Thy Word; but I know only in part; I do not perfectly understand.” This lays a demand upon us that we hold the Word of God both in humility and in charity: in humility towards God and in charity towards our brethren.’
–George Ladd, Gospel of the Kingdom
Ah, classic Ladd! I’m glad he is still being read outside his NT Theology, and glad to see this quote. Many thanks for posting it!
(Meanwhile, I followed the trail here from a comment you made on Mike Aubrey’s blog, only to discover that I’m on your blogroll. Sweet!)
