KNOWING GOD

Today my pastor touched on the few levels of knowing God. (John 14:6-11)

1) Not knowing God : I think there are many people who just do not know God. They do not believe there is a God at all.

2) There are also those in the awareness level. This is the most superficial level. These people know there is a God who is the highest authority.

3) There are also those in the cognitive level. They have much intellectual knowledge. They accept many facts of God.

4) There are those in a relational or experiential level with God. They have first hand and not second hand knowledge or experience with God. They are in an intimate relationship with God.

5) Many also have revelation knowledge from God. For example, God may give you an intimate knowledge/secret about the sister or brother next to you whom you have never met. God may want you to speak to this person and offer to pray for him/her.

We must not be contented with just knowing God with facts only, but seek to know Him intimately and rest on His power.
