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 #43

Ephesians #43

Eph 5:18 - Be filled by means of the Spirit (Col 3:16) as manifested by Eph 5:19-33. Wives submit to husbands; the husband is the head of the wife - savior of the body (Eph 5:22-24, 1Co 11:3). Boaz and Ruth illustrate the principles in Eph 5. (Rut 3:1-18; Ruth 4:1-17). Ruth was a believer in the God of Israel -- she submitted to Naomi, then Boaz. Like Jesus our Kinsman Redeemer, Boaz provided Ruth salvation, redemption. Ruth lost her identity when she lost her husband. Jesus is the guardian, defender of the home, and provider of all good things.

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.
