I can get lost in the study of this stuff. People come to the knowledge of God in may ways and from all walks of life. They come to the knowledge of Christ our Lord and Savior. Who was “in the beginning with the Father, and is the Firstborn son.
I like this scripture because it characterize a child's actions and thought development (although is is about how we develop and come into the awareness of Gods Knowledge)
