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.

Upper Room Discourse #3

Upper Room Discourse #3

1st John reflects on what John learned in the Upper Room: . Joh 13:31-35 "...God is glorified in Him...a new commandment ... love... by this all will know". In the upper room Jesus knew what was in the heart of his disciples, but still "...loved them to the uttermost (Joh 13:1)". Jesus suffered personal hostility (Joh 13:18-30); if you are growing in grace you'll experience the same. Internal opposition (Joh 13:36-38 through Joh 14:1-11). Hostility from the world (Joh 15:18-25). Hostility from the Devil himself (Joh 14:30).
