knowing God

John 17:3 (NIV) — 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

God is the Author of Life

As we embark on this spiritual journey, we need to understand that God is the author of life and our life is a gift from God and we will give an account of our lives. Knowing that God is the author of our lives and our lives have a purpose, we can now live in accordance with His will and glorify Him in all areas of our life. If we do not acknowledge God as the author of our lives, we then are subjected to God’s wrath.

Establishment of God’s Kingdom

We must also understand that God has established His kingdom in this hostile world and we are involved in the spiritual warfare. How do we overcome this spiritual warfare? we overcome the spiritual warfare by knowing and loving God–personally and logically.

Prayer

2 Timothy 3:16–17 (NIV) — 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Let us start with prayer and seek God’s guidance in our Spiritual growth as we dig deeper in the Word of God. Our heavenly Father, our Great almighty God, Wonder working God, Prayer Answering God, Covenant keeping God, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We come before your throne, in the Precious Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We adore you, we love you and we seek your face. Lead us through your Spirit in this endeavor as we are dealing with sacred Scriptures. Have your Spirit help us apply your Word in our lives. For we ask all this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
