The greatest protection from error is knowing the truth. "What you do not know will not hurt you"—this does not apply to the Christian and his Bible. Much more applicable is Alexander Pope's dictum, "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring." Error stems from ignorance and superficial knowledge.

In the Scriptures we find Truth —a revelation of things man can never discover from any other source. How great, then, is the ignorance of those who do not know or willfully neglect the Scriptures, who capriciously question them or reject them outright. ...God leads the willing and obedient heart into all truth, and in that truth there is a freedom otherwise unknown.
