Know? Or know about? What is the difference? Eph 1:16-17

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Where are you today, in your relationship with our LORD and Savior - Jesus Christ?  Do you know about God?  About Jesus Christ?  OR, do you KNOW God and Jesus Christ?

There is a difference.  Many know about God and Jesus as they have studied the Bible, studied in the sense of reading it as a biographical book.  This gives the information necessary to "know about" just as a history book helps us to" know about" the many events in the history of the world.

However, the question is DO YOU KNOW JESUS CHRIST?!?

Ephesians 1:16-17 "I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God."

Paul's prayer, as should be our prayer, is to know God better.  We can know about Jesus, but we need to know God, know Jesus. So, how do we do this?  To really get to know someone you need to spend time with that person.  We need to read our Bible, have devotional times, spend time in prayer, be still and listen to God.  People may "enjoy" what they are doing and being in the world, yet they will show up Sunday for church carrying the mask of deception.  We need to realize the "FREEDOM" of living is living for Christ.

Personal knowledge of Christ and spending time in prayer will change your life.  Who do you rely on? Yourself or Jesus?  Take time now for at least a moment of silence to thank God for yourself and all you have. Love you all.

  In Christ's Love and Grace
