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 2

Romans 8  - Sanctification - Tecumseh Kansas 2009

The result of the walking in the Spirit is that we fulfill the righteous requirements of the Law (Rom 8:4, Gal 5:16). Believers who live according to the flesh because they set their minds on the flesh (Rom 8:5-7). It's our decision to walk according to the Spirit or the flesh, depending upon what we set our minds. The quickness of walking in the Spirit then the flesh is Peter at Cesarea Phillipi (Mat 16:13-23). 7 "ifs" setup a tight argument (Rom 8:9-17) As soon as we set our minds on the things of the Spirit we'll walk in newness of life. However, death starts immediately when we sin. Jesus' spiritual life is the Holy Spirit. The work of the Spirit sets up free from the practice of sin and death (Rom 8:12-17). Four secrets of evangelism: 1) obligation; 2) impartiality; 3) preparation; 4) not ashamed. The Spirit of God will not do what you don't choose to do.
