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.

Ephesians #26

Ephesians #26

We are united with Christ; we should seek the things above (Col 3:1-17). Col 3:8 put off sin; Col 3:10 put on the new man. The old man needs putting off; we need to be renewed (Eph 4:22-24). Illustrated in Zec 3:1-7 and Isa 55:6 human sin and human good are filthy garments as God sees them (like we've waded through sewage). We have been transferred out of darkness; we are a new creature (1Co 15:22; Col 1:13). If we are wearing the clothes from the grave, no one can tell the difference (Eph 4:22). Every day we need: (1) the cleansing of confession; (2) the renewal of the Word; (3) daily rest in the promises; (4) a dependence on the Spirit of God; and (5) a preoccupation with Christ.

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
