"Knowing" God - Why I Wrote The Book!
Manage episode 342146481 series 3398567
This a good one! This is the entire context of creating the book! Want to know why I spent 20 years digging through not only what Jesus said, but really focusing on "how" He related to different people? He is wonderful and He's amazing - but few people really know his goodness and "savior" Him!
It's one thing to come to the scriptures and every passage about Jesus to "extract a mental framework of Theology" but it is another thing to come and interact with Jesus as a person. One leads to standing in judgement of others and accusing them day and night just like the enemy (Revelation 12:10). Another leads to holding to the truth in Jesus but learning how to love people as He did.
In short, we need to "Know God" and connect with Him in prayer rather than merely "know about God" in an information sense only. We need the best theology but as a doorway to connect with God. If theology (knowledge of God) becomes a "means in itself" then we become modern Pharisees who have who can articulate theology but hate God when He shows up and stands before us just like Jesus did with them. (John 5:39-40)
