‘Only Temporary.’
1 Corinthians 13:9-12.
a) 1 Corinthians 13:9. Now we know so little – even if we have gifts from the Holy Spirit.
b) 1 Corinthians 13:10. When the End comes all these gifts from the Holy Spirit will disappear.
c) 1 Corinthians 13:11. We need to put away our childish behaviour.
d) 1 Corinthians 13:12. Now we see and understand things:-
1-Imperfectly.
2-Partially.
3-Incompletely.
e) 1 Corinthians 13:12. When the End comes we will see and understand things:-
1-With perfect clarity.
2-Completely.
3-Just as God knows us now.
(This QT reminds me that all things that we know now are Only Temporary)

Chris.
Now our seeing and understanding of all things is imperfect. It is very good and commendable to increase our learning and knowledge which will give us more seeing and understanding. However much we may learn though, our seeing and understanding will still be imperfect. If God is leading us to increase our learning and knowledge we can and should definitely do so that we will be better equipped to Serve and Glorify Him.
