Q94. But what must one that knoweth not God do, to get the knowledge of God?

Let him apply his heart unto the Scriptures. As unto a light that shineth in a dark place, even this world, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in his heart.

Scripture Proofs — King James Version

Proverbs 22:17, 23:12

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

2 Peter 1:19,20

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
