Knowing God

John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬‭ (NKJV‬‬) And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
In the verse above, we learn that the ultimate gift of eternal life is the privilege of knowing God. This means that the primary goal of becoming a Christian and receiving the divine life is that we know Christ and experience fellowship with Him. Although this journey will last throughout all eternity, it is one we must embark on during our earthly sojourn.

Many times, believers get caught up in the motions of Christianity, going to prayer meetings, Bible studies, Sunday services, and worship concerts, but we become farther from that ultimate goal. We may know a lot about our church and its traditions. We may even know a lot about Jesus and possess vast knowledge of scriptures. But to what end? If all our Christian worship and service don’t bring us closer to knowing Him, then something somewhere is fundamentally wrong.

Brethren, we must go back to the basics. We must seek to know Him. When we decidedly fix our hearts on Him in this way, then everything that we do becomes full of the hope and possibility of discovering Him in new and unexpected ways. Evangelism becomes an avenue to learn about His love and compassion for all men, while worship becomes a time to experience His holy nature. He begins to use even our mundane daily experiences to teach us who He is.

I believe this is the intimate relationship that God desires to have with us. We should not settle for anything less. The Lord is looking to reveal Himself to people with genuine hunger and passion for Him and nothing else. So let’s lay aside all our distractions and reach for Him alone.

Prayer: Father, please help me to truly know You. I want to experience true fellowship and intimacy with You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
