I quoted this from Luther on #Psalm 8 today in the message: “By “infants” He does not mean young children who cannot talk (for if they are to speak and preach the Word, they must be able to talk), but plain, simple, unsophisticated people, who are like infant children in that they set aside all reason, grasp and accept the Word with simple faith, and let themselves be led and directed by God like children. Such people are also the best scholars and pupils in Christ’s kingdom.”
The irony is the pushback I received basically was “sanctification is about knowledge and growth” when real Biblical sanctification involves heart, life, and soul change to be more and more like #Jesus. Knowledge is not the end goal, but the means - yet a western culture celebrates knowledge as the end goal.
