Growing up we were thought about shapes in school, Circle, Triangle, square, rectangle e.t.c which are the most basic.... the highest we knew about them was that they had this or that number of sides e.g a triangle has 3 sides...but on getting to high school we were taught about their properties,more shapes,vertices e.t.c  Which I can say is the Core or in-depth of learning about shapes.....I gave this Analogy to establish the fact that the gospel has a Shape and a Core...a preschooler can't understand or capture the core of shapes but can identify a triangle when he sees one.......So a man can know or have the shape of the life of the gospel but  not the CORE.... it is like having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof....So the SHAPE is a form but THE CORE is the POWER....... the CORE is what you know that can be a working Document ..... The CORE is meant for the SOUL....i pray that we don't just stop at having or knowing the shape but having and knowing the CORE of  eternal life.
