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 3

Romans 8 - Sanctification - Tecumseh Kansas 2009

Roman adoption including the father setting a date where the son, no longer under tutors, would receive the toga virilis and start partaking in the family business. God has given us the status of adult children (Rom 8:15); He withholds nothing from His resources. Christ called out "Abba, Father" in Gethsemane (Mark 14:16). If we go through life trusting in Christ, we have a right to inheritance reigning with Him (Rom 8:16-23, 2Ti 2:12). We have access and glory in our tribulations (Rom 5:1-5). Faith, Hope and Love is the triad of Christian virtue (1Th 1:3, 1Th 5:8, Col 4:1-5, 1Co 13:13, Heb 6:5-6). We grow in affirmation from the Spirit as we live in faith. Paul's use of "all" in Romans: Chapter 1-3 — Condemnation (Rom 3:23); Chapter 4-5 — Justification (Rom 5:18); Chapter 6-8 — Sanctification (Rom 8:28); Chapter 9-11 — Dispensation (Rom 11:32-36); Chapter 12-14 — Transformation (Rom 14:10). There can be no defeat ultimately for the believer walking in the Spirit. By choosing Christ we are chosen by God (Rom 8:29, Isa 42:1). Ultimately we will all be conformed to the image of His Son. Reward depends upon how much that happens now. We are more than conquerors by means of His provision we utilize (Rom 8:37). Romans Chapter 8 covers three concepts: believers in the Spirit have no condemnation, no defeat, and no separation.
