I want to read to you part of an essay written by a 17-year-old boy. But I want to tell you ahead of time who he was so you can be measuring it. The person who wrote it was Carl Marx.
He wrote this when he was a 17-year-old boy. “If we examine the history of man’s nature as an individual, we constantly observe that spark of divinity in each man, our heart, reason, history, the word of Christ, all call out to us loudly and convincingly to tell us that us that union with Him is absolutely necessary and without Him we would be rejected of God, for He alone is able to deliver us.”
What’s the problem with all of that? Not a thing in the world, so far as truth is concerned. He knew the answer, but he didn’t know Jesus.
Paul says “I know whom I have believed.” He didn’t say I know in whom I have believed. That’s the way many people mistranslate that. Paul didn’t want to have a preposition between him and Christ. He said “I know whom I have believed.” – 2 Timothy 1:12.
