Knowing God... vs knowing about God
“Not many of us, I think, would ever naturally say that we
have known God. The words imply a definiteness and
matter-of-factness of experience to which most of us, if we
are honest, have to admit that we are still strangers… Would
it occur to us to say, without hesitation, and with reference
to particular events in our personal history, that we have
known God? I doubt it, for I suspect that with most of us
experience of God has never become so vivid as that."
A life worth nothing
Does that sound shocking? I think so. And yet the Apostle Paul himself writes of the possibility of his life’s work being “in vain” (Philippians 2:16). What will your life count for? And what will make it count for something?
