Summary

As Christians, our goal should be to continue along the path of becoming more emotionally mature. One of the signs of emotional maturity is admitting that we do not know everything and that there is always something new to learn. An attitude like this demonstrates flexibility and a willingness to keep an open mind, and positions us for the kind of continual learning that leads to greater wisdom. Conversely, thinking that we know it all is a sign of arrogance; an inflexible mindset that says that our way of thinking is the only correct way leads to strife and arguments. Honestly admitting we have gaps in what we know frees us from having to have an opinion on every topic under the sun; it also pushes us toward greater dependence on God, who does know everything. It is actually a blessing in disguise. Depending on God to teach us what we need to know keeps us humble and enables Him to use us mightily.
