The Ways Of Man Are Right In His Own Eyes! Conclusion

(For part 1, see 8/16/26)

2 Timothy 3:7, “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

In this passage, Paul is writing to young Timothy, describing the evil which will come upon the earth in the last days. He describes all sorts of sins and evil behavior which will captivate the human race just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. If we read and study the depth of this passage with an open mind and honest heart before God, we must declare that we are living in a time comparable to what Paul described. Indeed, we are living in the last days.

One key factor that Paul spoke about is described in verse 7. He prophesied of a time when mankind would be always in pursuit of learning but never able to understand Divine Truth. We are living in an era when education has become a god. A testament to the pursuit of education is the volume of debt created by college students just in the last decade. Hanson, Melanie. “Student Loan Debt Statistics,” EducationData.org, 2026-07-16, “Student loan debt in the United States totals $1.863 trillion; annual growth resumes following a decline in 2023-24. The outstanding federal student loan balance is $1.724 trillion; 42.6 million student borrowers have federal loan debt.” All that money is spent on higher education, but still unable to understand the most basic Biblical Truths. We are living in the last days of the Last Days.

Jesus said that when the Spirit of Truth has come, He will lead “you into all Truth.” Every living person can receive a greater understanding of the person and work of God. Regardless of one’s intellectual and academic achievement, God can still teach us a thing or two.

We are mortal men and the creation of God! Therefore, we must be subject to God. Job 40:2, “Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.” God is the instructor, and we are His students. God still wants to reveal His Truth to submissive, receptive hearts!

Jesus stated that when the Spirit of Truth has come, “he will shew you things to come.” There is much that God would share with us if we were in the position to receive. However, we must leave the realm of the carnal man and walk in newness of life given in the Spirit. Human intellect is not a proper position for Divine revelation. In a spiritual sense, we must position ourselves to receive God’s Truth. There is a way that seems right to man, but the end is death Proverbs 14:12. God’s desire is to reveal His Truth to His children, but we must go God’s way. He will guide us on the path that we should go. All we need to do is follow Him into His Truth!
