God doesn't expect us to be a walking encyclopedia of biblical knowledge. He wants us to know Him, to be in a relationship with Him. This means not only hearing but allowing our understanding of God to change the way we live. Like the wise builder who laid the foundation of his house on the rock, we learn to let our knowledge of God change us. Tyler Edwards
About This Quote

The Bible doesn't dictate all of our actions. It's not our master plan. God doesn't want to create robots. He wants us to be individuals, unique and unique in our own way.

He wants us to be changed by the knowledge that He has given us, but that needs to happen on His time. We shouldn't try to force change upon ourselves. Do we need to know all of the Bible? No.

God will use what we do know to transform us into people who are more like Him.
