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.

Sanctification 1

Romans 8 - Sanctification - Tecumseh Kansas 2009

. Theme for the Book of Romans (Rom 1:16-17), "the power of the gospel"; bookends "Obedience to the faith" (Rom 1:5, Rom 16:26). Condemnation (Romans 1-3); Justification (Romans 4-5); Sanctification (Romans 6-8); Dispensation (Romans 9-11); Transformation (Romans 12-16). Three divisions in chapter 8: (1) Past work of the Spirit — no condemnation — we're saints (Rom 8:1-11); (2) Present work of the Spirit — no dominion — the Spirit's work to sanctification (Rom 8:12-27); (3) Future work - no defeat — we're holy (Rom 8:28-39). The will of God is our sanctification (1Th 4:7). Freedom is among Paul's favorite words (Rom 8:1, Rom 8:21, Rom 6:4-6, Rom 6:18, Rom 6:22, Rom 7:6, Rom 8:2). The Law of Sin and Death - sin brings death. Law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus is the newness of life (Eph 4:23-24). Sin must be judged and perfect obedience is necessary. Sanctification is a cooperative process. The purpose is that we walk worthy (Eph 2:8-10, Eph 4:1).
