                             WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO KNOW GOD?

Knowing God goes beyond just an awareness that he exists, or merely knowledge about him. It means having a personal and intimate relationship with God. As we enjoy relationships with God, we grow in our understanding of his character and notice God’s presence and work in our lives.

God wants us to know him, and he emphasizes the importance

of knowing him. In Jeremiah 9:24, God the Father declares: 

“… let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me…”. Jesus reveals in his prayer to God the Father in John 17:3: “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” 

How Can We Truly Know God?

The key to genuinely knowing God is to connect to him through a relationship with Jesus, and to keep growing closer to God through that relationship. Thanks to Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for our sins, we can come to God and get to know him. Jesus tells us in John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” By looking to Jesus, we gain a profound understanding of who God is. Jesus reveals the nature of God to us, saying in John 14:9-10: “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. … The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.” The actions Jesus takes are all in obedience to God the Father (John 5:19), and the words Jesus speaks come from the Father (John 12:49).

So, to truly know God, we must genuinely know Jesus. When we wholeheartedly pursue relationships with God through Jesus, we receive the Holy Spirit, and the facts we have learned about God come to life for us as we get to know him personally. Jesus tells us in John 14:26 that the Holy Spirit “… will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” We can rely on the Holy Spirit’s power to teach us all we need to know God personally – the way God wants us to know him.

1 Corinthians 2:12 reveals: “What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”

God wants personal relationships with us. So, truly knowing God means establishing and enjoying a relationship with him.

5 WAYS TO GET TO KNOW GOD MORE

1. Pray and Meditate.

When we communicate with God through prayer, we can express our thoughts and feelings and seek God’s encouragement and guidance. Prayer is talking with God, while meditation is listening to God. Both prayer and meditation are essential ways of getting to know God more. Colossians 4:2 urges us to “Devote yourselves to prayer,” while Psalm 143:5 encourages us to “meditate on all your [God’s] works.”

2. Read and Study the Bible.

The Bible is God’s inspired Word and his love letter to us. Regularly reading and studying the Bible helps us understand who God really is and how we can best enjoy relationships with him. Hebrews 4:12 points out: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

3. Obey God’s Commands.

Obedience to God’s commands is a vital aspect of knowing him. By aligning our lives with God’s wisdom, we get to know his character and demonstrate our love and reverence for him. 1 John 2:3-4 declares: “We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, ‘I know him,’ but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.” 

4. Look for signs of God’s wonder in nature.

Nature reveals the wonder of God’s character.  Romans 1:20 reveals: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” By spending time in nature and seeking God through his creation there, we can wake up to the wonder of God’s work around us and grow closer to him in the process.

5. Focus on relationship, not ritual.

We need to pay more attention to our personal relationships with God than we do to performing religious rituals. While it’s important to participate in worship services and do service projects with other believers, none of that ultimately matters if we’re not genuinely connected with God when we do so. God tells us in Hosea 6:6: “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.” Knowing God involves truly changing our hearts to embrace God’s grace and mercy, not just performing religious actions.

                                          CONCLUSION

God isn’t a distant being who is difficult to know. He is a loving Father who wants us to know him personally. But truly knowing God involves more than just gaining knowledge about him. Knowing God means enjoying a relationship with him that is based on love. God’s love is at the core of who he is, so when we truly know God, we live in love.   

                           3 Ways Our Spiritual Growth Is Stunted

                             Vivian Bricker Contributing Writer

There are many ways our spiritual growth can be stunted, and it's not uncommon for our spiritual growth to be stunted multiple times throughout our lives. While this is normal in our “Christian Walk,” it is important that we do our best to get out of the slump and revive our spiritual growth. Below, I want to share a few reasons why our growth is stunted but include ideas to help when this is the case.

Remember, it is key that we are consistent in avoiding our pitfalls yet staying consistent to habits that restore our spiritual growth.

SIN

The first reason our spiritual growth can be stunted is because of sin. If we actively live in sin, our spiritual growth will be stunted. It is hard to be in a right relationship with the Lord if we are actively engaging in sin before His eyes. Similar to Adam and Eve, when we sin, we will hide from God. God is not hiding from us, but rather, we are hiding from Him. We hide our faces from God because we know we have sinned against Him.

While it is impossible to live a sin-free life, it is important that we do our best not to sin and that we repent of our sins when we do stumble and fall.

The Bible tells us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and He will forgive us. The Apostle John tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Since we have this sure and true promise, we need to come before the Lord in prayer and ask for His forgiveness.

In addition to asking for forgiveness genuinely, we also need to repent of our sins. We cannot ask for forgiveness, continue with the same sin, and expect everything to be alright. Rather, we need to ask for forgiveness, truly repent of our sins, and move forward in our “Christian Walk.” God knows when we are being honest in our repentance and when we are not. 

The longer we continue in sin, the more our spiritual growth will suffer.
