KNOWING GOD John 14:6-11

KNOWING GOD 1. What does it mean to know God? 2. Two Greek words translated Know  a. oikeios literally “belonging to a house or family, intimate, kindred; to become acquainted with, to understand, perceive, have knowledge of” (Thayer)  b. ginoskos “To learn, to come to know, to understand” (Thayer)

KNOWING GOD 3. It is important, because:  a. To know God is eternal life - John. 17:3.  b. Those who do not know God are eternally punished - 2 Thessalonians 1: To know God means to have knowledge of God and to have a relationship with Him.

I. KNOWING GOD MEANS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM A. One can have knowledge about God, yet not know God.  1. John. 8:19 – They had knowledge of God, but didn't understand & have fellowship with either the Father or the Son!  2. John. 15:18-21; 16:1-3 – Apostles and saints persecuted because the world didn't "know" the Father. cf. Saul – Had knowledge about God, but didn't "know" God while he was persecuting the church – 1 Timothy 1:12-14.

B. Jesus came to earth to reveal God to man – John. 1:18.  1. Colossians 1:15 – To give man a clear manifestation of God.  2. This is essential, for until one has a knowledge of God, he cannot "know" Him (enter a relationship with Him). I. KNOWING GOD MEANS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

C. When we know Christ, we know the Father – John. 14:6-9.  1. Before we can know Christ (enter relationship with Him), we must learn of Him – John. 6:45. I. KNOWING GOD MEANS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

 2. Likewise, to have a relationship with the Father (know God), we must first learn about Him – cf. Hebrews 11:6. a. Through nature we learn His divinity – Romans 1:20; Acts 14:17. b. Through revelation we learn His will – 1 Corinthians 2:1, 13.  3. But, learning of God isn't all there is to knowing Him – Romans 1: I. KNOWING GOD MEANS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

II. TO KNOW GOD MEANS TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF GOD A. When we obey God we know God – 2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 John 2:3- 6.  1. 1 John 2:3 – Keep commandments. John 14:23 – Relationship formed.  2. 1 John 2:5 – Keep word – Love of God in our lives.  3. 1 John 2:6 – In fellowship with God when we walk as Christ did.

B. When one knows God he accepts the apostles' teachings – 1 John 4:6.  1. Contradiction to say we are pleasing God if we are rejecting the inspired message! – 2 John 9  2. NT (apostles' writings) instructs us how to walk (live) as Christ walked (lived) – 1 John 1:3-4; 2:5-6. II. TO KNOW GOD MEANS TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF GOD

C. To know God means to be in Christ – 1 John 5:20.  1. Can not know God and reject His Son Jesus Christ.  2. Galatians 3:26-27 – Be baptized into Christ through faith. II. TO KNOW GOD MEANS TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF GOD

III. IN THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, WE SHOULD KNOW THAT: A. God knows us.  1. Psalms 139:1-4 – God is acquainted with everything about us (our actions, thoughts, words).  2. Galatians 4:8-9 – In Christ, He recognizes us as His children (Galatians 4:5). B. God loves us – 1 John 4:9-10.  1. 1 John 4:7-8 – Therefore, we must love one another in the same way to know God!

CONCLUSION 1. Do you know God? Perhaps you know about God, but do not really know Him (have a relationship with Him). 2. Change that right now by obeying the gospel of Christ in faith and allowing God to come into your life (Galatians 3:26-27).
