The Bible, particularly the Old and New Testaments, emphasizes the importance of seeking and knowing God, often presented as a gift from God to those who are willing to search for Him. - Genesis 4:1: “Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived.” Here, “knew” implies a relationship, not just physical intimacy.
- John 10:14: “I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.” Jesus uses “know” to describe His intimate relationship with His followers.
- John 14:7: “If you had known me, you would have known my Father as well. From now on you do know him and you have seen him.” Jesus states that
Community: Learning from and interacting with other believers.- Obedience: Living in accordance with God’s commands.
- God’s Omniscience:
God is often described as omniscient, meaning He knows all things, both past, present, and future.
“knowledge of God” typically refers to a profound understanding and personal relationship with the divine, often involving faith, obedience, and a deeper understanding of God’s character and will. A personal relationship and experience.
