THE LETER K

TO KNOW HIM AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN

PHILIPPIANS 3

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

COLOSSIANS 4

3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

2 THESS 3

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

The words at the top sum up the Christian life. People ask, what is the purpose of life?

Why does God save us?

When we are first saved, we have a basic knowledge of God, over the years, we will grow in that knowledge 2 Peter 3:18.

Paul who by now, was a mature believer was still saying, I want to KNOW HIM, this is his deepest desire, he reminds me of Caleb in the OT, who says at age 80, give me this mountain, give me the hardest part of the work.

I am retired, having reached a certain age, but I pray i never retire from the Lord’s work, you do have a retirement date, when Gid decides to take you home, until then, keep working and keep striving to know God.

To know God is the best thing, to bring others to the same knowledge is beyond words, you know as I write and share, I pray that something of my deep love for God rubs off on people, maybe someone will come to know Christ better through me.

Moses trained Joshua, Jesus trained the twelve apostles and Paul trained Timothy, Titus and many more.

Our heart cry should be I want to know God more, and our vision should be to pass on that knowledge to others, either by mentoring ones in your church or sharing the gospel to people around you.

May you know Christ and  make him known.

God bless you
