How are you doing, Friend?
Knowing Jesus is different that knowledge about Jesus. If you want to
know the truth, you first must ensure your source is reliable. The
Bible is the truth, but only the Holy Spirit can correctly interpret it
for you. Any other source has the possibility of being tainted.
If you want to know the truth intimately, you must also go to the
Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ). He is the only one who can provide
an accurate experience of God. You need the Spirit’s power to know God.
All knowledge comes from an experience of something. In Ephesians,
Paul makes a distinction between knowing Christ’s love (primary knowing)
and knowing facts about His love (secondary knowing). The primary is
far superior to the secondary.
Matt
