Have you ever heard of the child that grew up in church, on the choir, in Bible study, and every religious event you could think of every week because their parents went? They would just get in the car and go. To them, it was a way of life, they did not have to exactly know and experience God for his or herself, but instead they accepted the idea of God from their upbringing.
However, when they leave the house and enter the world fully, they seem to slowly falter, leaving the Gospel farther and farther behind. Over time, they seem to let their faith in God fully deteriorate. Do not misunderstand me, this is not the fault of the parents by any means. However, the point of this passage is to stress the importance of knowing, accepting, and studying the Word of God for oneself.
There comes a time where saying that Christianity has just been all Ive done for my life no longer suffices. I urge, no I exhort to you all to study and know God and His Word for yourself, so that you are His and He is yours!
