IT'S ALL ABOUT KNOWING!
We have heard "It's all about love." But, love is ALL about" KNOWING" God. The word "know" in the New Testament is often referring to a complete knowing--as in intimacy. The Greek word for “know" is ginōskō, and was often used in Jesus day to refer to sexual intercourse. Intimacy with God releases His glory! Dan 9 tells us, "Those who know their God will be strong and do great exploits.” Dan 11:32
The Apostle John drives home this point by saying, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and KNOWS God. Whoever does not love does not KNOW God, because God is love. 1Jn 4:7-8
The kind of love that will change this world is not of human origin – it must come from God! This is not something we can work up, but rather must be soaked up. We must relinquish our own efforts and rely solely on the Lord! Apostle Paul said it like this:
Philippians 3:10-12 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
God is completely in love with you! He wants you to KNOW Him. God is longing to be intimate with you because he longs to impart into you his glory and his love! Are you ready for an amazing adventure? Prepare your heart and dive in because the truth is...
