Lessons for Christ-Learners:
--people of learning (don't pit heart vs. head).
--apply what they learn to life (don't pit word vs. deed)
--people can only be rescued if someone "learns them" the Gospel (share the "whole" Gospel).
--what we learn matters for the hope of the future changes our today (renew our minds with biblical truth about our hope).
--healthy Christianity is fruitful: The Gospel bears fruit and the believers bear fruit (don't accept fruitlessness as normal, "win and grow disciples").
--giving thanks and ceaseless prayer are foundational for Christ-learners (recite your learning in praise and prayerfully keep learning).
--apply what they know and seek to know what they don't (act now on the knowledge of God's will that you already have).
