Perception; Formed By Influences Pt 2

What has been introduced to our memory helps form our perceptions.

Jeremiah 4:22 "For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."

At the beginning of salvation for someone not raised in church the scripture ". . . be ye holy for I am holy;" 1 Peter 1:16 you have no concept of because you have no former influences or memory to base the scripture on.

The thing within you that gives you the okay to respond to the love of God came from God himself. We want love. ". . . God is love." 1John 4:8

Ps 119:99-107, 111, 115-116, 125, 129-130 "I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word." "Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart." "Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope." Isaiah 55:8 ". . .neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."
