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.

Joshua # 09 -- Jos 6:1
Salvation mostly means deliverance in New Testament (Phi 1:12-14, Phi 1:19-20, Phi 2:12-13, Jam 1:21). Paul sees salvation as sustaining him through dangers and threat so that he could be a bold witness who is not ashamed. The special protective hand of God is there when a believer is obedient (Phi 2:13). Worship means I am willing to lose my life, lay it down, to find what He promises. The greatest security we have is in seeking the plan of God. Rahab knew that God was able to save her life if he had already saved her soul. Jos 6:1
