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.

The Amazing Race 3

The Amazing Race

Heb 12:1-3 We're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ. In Jer 12:1-5 Jeremiah warned Israel for 40 years. When he questioned God, Jeremiah found out that to that point, he was only running with the footmen; a day was coming he'd have to run with the horseman. Job also questioned God. God asked Job "where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth"? God asked Paul a similar question (Act 9:4); Paul responded "what would you have me to do"? (Act 9:6)

Scripture References: Acts 9:6, Acts 9:4, Jeremiah 12:1-5, Hebrews 12:1-3
