In Hosea 4:6 God mourns over the fact that his people are being destroyed due to their lack of knowledge. What was true in Hosea's day, is still true today. There is a constant need for God's people to grow in their knowledge of his word so that we can live the life Christ has God has designed for us. Growing in knowledge is not something that happens accidentally or haphazardly.
