About This Quote
The quote, “an understanding of Jesus is not a mere matter of intelligence,” is a great example of the concept of faith. If you understand everything about Jesus but don’t accept him, then your understanding does little to help you in your life. You need to take what you know and turn it into something tangible. True understanding comes when you take the Bible and apply it to your life.
