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.

2nd Cornthians – Knowing God – 2014-Northern Virginia

Are you end-times focused?

Are you end-time focused? 1st Peter 1:13 says “Gird up your mind and be sober and rest your hope fully on the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” Are you focused on the coming of Christ? Answer that question you've answered, “Why am I where I am?” Do you live day by day in what Paul calls in Titus, “the blessed hope glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” Titus 2:13? I wake up every morning saying, “Let it be today. Even so come Lord Jesus.” You know, that's the last prayer that's written in the Bible (Revelation 22:20). And you know what? I have a hunch Jesus is not going to come back until the majority and His bride is praying that He will come. You know why His bride is not praying that He'll come? Because we still want to buy that new car and we still want to get this. You're not going to have to worry about that because all of that stuff is about to go by the wayside. We're about to see hard times like this country has never seen. You know what? It'll be good for us. Why would God let us happen to us? Because He loves us. Because He wants a pure bride for His son. And He wants a bride that would be focused on eternity.
