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.

Ezekiel #17

Ezekiel #17

Rebellion without repentance has consequences; repentance brings life (Eze 18:21-23). Zedekiah scoffed at prophecies concerning the destruction of Jerusalem. God says He'll discipline children for sins of the parents "of those who hate Me", but also "show loving-kindness for thousands" (Exo 20:4-6). Jeremiah corrects a common misconception regarding that proverb (Jer 31:29-30). God claims possession of all souls (Eze 18:4-5). The just shall live by faith (Eze 18:6-9, Hab 2:4). Israel was responsible for breaking the covenant (Eze 18:10-13). Faithfulness to God brings faithfulness to others. God holds us personally accountable (Eze 18:14-18). They claimed they were suffering for what their fathers did, but God condemns their own actions (Eze 18:19, 2Ch 32:32-33). Manasseh lead the nation into heathenism and put Isaiah to death for railing against the evil. It's possible to lead millions into evil because the nation has ceased to think clearly. The ultimate test of a nation is what they do with their children. Manesseh repented, but what he started could not be stopped (2Ch 33:12).
