Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Psalm 1 (Part 4) - Doctrine of Righteous Man

Psalm 1 (Part 4) - Doctrine of Righteous Man

Psa 1:1-6 The blessed man is righteous. (1) Blessed man is holy completely, utterly righteous - never violated the law of God. (2) Jesus Christ is the Blessed Man. (3) Jesus made it clear that blessing comes by trusting and following Him. Blessing comes through Him - no effort nor merit (Mat 5:3-12). If Jesus alone is the Blessed man - why? (a) The first man declared righteousness is Noah (Gen 7:1, Rom 6:23, Eph 2:8-9, Gen 15:6). Noah "found Grace" by faith and attain righteousness (Heb 11:6). (b) no natural man is righteous in himself (Rom 3:10, Psa 14:1-3, Isa 53:6). (c) all human righteousness the Bible declares as unrighteous (Isa 64:6). (d) How many sins does it take to be unrighteous? One (Rom 5:12, Jam 2:10-11). (e) The only way to righteousness is faith in Christ. (Rom 1:16-17, Rom 3:21-22, Rom 4:3-5, Rom 4:23). Every man is potentially saved via Christ on the cross (2Co 5:19, 1Jo 5:12, Joh 1:12). (4) We enter this blessedness when we believe in Christ. In union with Christ is all blessing (Eph 1:3). (5) Righteousness imputed gives us inner peace and blessing (Rom 5:1). (6) Jesus is called "...righteous branch of David..." (Jer 23:5). (7) For Jesus to impart righteousness to us, He had to pay the price. Eternity for us was so valuable that the cost was the blood of Jesus Christ (Jam 5:6).
