KNOWING GOD ** JOHN 17:3 3 *Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Knowing God through experience is radically different than knowing about God from a theology textbook. According to the Bible, you cannot say you know God unless you have experience Him (Phil. 3:8, 10). Biblical knowledge always involves experience. You may become discouraged because the truths you read about in the Bible are much richer than the reality of your own experience. If you have not experienced Gods power at work in and through your life, do not settle for a secondhand knowledge of Gods power, rejoicing in what He has done in others. Jesus prayer was that you would come to know God and His presence in your life and experience. Dont discount the power of God as described in Scripture simply because you have not experienced it. Bring your experience up to the standard of Scripture; never reduce Scripture to the level of your experience. Dont settle for a head knowledge of Gods love. Jesus prayed that you would experience the depth and width and height of His love and that you would enjoy Gods full and unending love in the day-to-day experience of your life. If you sense there are biblical truths that you are not experiencing, keep that truth before you ask God to bring it into your everyday experience. Ask God if there are any adjustments you need to make in order to receive His promise. Dont give up on the promises of God; stay with them until you are fully experiencing them. AMEN, TO GOD BE THE GLORY, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!!! NAB C.CS.U.U.C. R.E.KIRK
